Training is for certainty, education is for uncertainty. We train people and teams to execute a skill or pattern when we know what that skill should look like, how to do it, and how to teach it. We educate people and teams on how to think about problems when we’re not sure what they’re going to be facing. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the logistical differences in how we actually accomplish this. How do you deliver education vs training in your team?
