Example theme

Make practical decisions

Work through a day-to-day decision by identifying the facts, people affected, and appropriate escalation route.

Use Training for program learning

Training is the MangoApps app Northstar uses for learning.

Check Training for assigned learning and program materials once Northstar has connected and published them.

Ask the confirmed program owner if an expected cohort assignment or material is missing.

Northstar must confirm Training availability and where specific program materials will appear.
