Abstract: A method for creating an educational product, or training experience, is herein described. The training experience includes a learning experience to impart knowledge on training experience participants, a networking experience to allow training experience participants to interact with a relevant peer group during training, a guest experience providing a defined level of interest and focus by participants during the training experience, and an enculturation experience to integrate training experience participants into the culture of the sponsoring organization. The training experience may be created through an assessment phase, a planning phase, a design phase, and an implementation stage, with subsequent product evaluation and revisions. Various milestones and checkpoints may be used to ensure that a level of phenomenality is achieved by the final training experience.
