The external SDF will work closely with the designated individual at the company to ensure alignment with the objectives of the company is met. It will also require sharing of sensitive data from time to time. The code of conduct for SDF’s includes this requirement and IRONWILL is would agree to sign a confidentiality agreement with the company.
As we believe in a complete solution, the future plans would be to work on a long-term plan and identify an internal staff member of the company to first couch and then mentor into an internal skills development facilitator who can run with the skills development of the company as a whole.
