GIVE ME THE TOOLS AND I′LL FINISH THE JOB

The article explores the use of maps and models as conceptual tools used by trainers. Experience is ordered by modelling in a way that allows it to be readily passed on to someone else. With increasing maturity in the profession a trainer needs to develop his or her own models. The author presents an example of how this can be done: a tool of a kind for instrumenting tasks.

The example is derived from a set of 25 generic tools.
