What it does not include

The guide is not the course.

It intentionally does not provide the complete curriculum, facilitator methods, scenario exercises, application tools, or organizational implementation process.

This allows the guide to work as a credible introduction while protecting the value of the deeper training and consulting work.

Use cases: conference companion, pre-training reading, organizational discussion starter, speaker leave-behind, and introductory resource.
