“…The training took place at the branch campus of a foreign university. Since they were currently serving professionals (Bush and Montecinos, 2019), the participants already had strong theories in use (Washburn, 2008), but had hitherto received no training of any kind in the skills and practises of leadership. Their experiences thus allowed judgements to be made about how far training impacts practise.…”

Award-bearing transnational professional development training has received little attention in the literature. By taking a longitudinal mixed-methods approach, this project's researchers investigated the ways in which participants on a World Bank-funded programme practised leadership at the start of their training, before revisiting them a year later to find out what, if any, changes had resulted. It was discovered that the award-bearing design had been very influential in endowing the participants with concepts that they enthusiastically adopted, but that, over time, the concepts had undergone a process of simplification, largely driven by incongruities between the concepts and the cultural environments to which they had been applied. It is recommended that award-bearing programmes might more readily take into account the individual and contextual circumstances of their participants at the planning stage.
