Added value
1) having public servants in similar positions put together in groups, gave them the opportunity to extend their relations capital and to build mutual confidence;
2) some trainings included practical work (e.g. strategic planning) which put people to work in teams to achieve a common goal;
3) after the training was over, more public servants continued or intensified this approach, with obvious improvements in the quality of the decisions.
