Standards Introductory Workshop (SIW)

Description
The SIW is designed to help adoptive member organizations understand how they can achieve all seven Standards, and how to form and manage their own Peer Review process. Workshops are interactive, use case studies, small group discussions, lecture and provide training in MISTM-grid theory in order to help Provisional Members proceed to Covenant Member status. Most of the SIWs will be piggy-backed onto ongoing STM Training Conferences in order to reduce time and travel expenses.

Frequency
The SIW is a one-time required SOE-sponsored 6-8 hour workshop for the key STM personnel of Provisional Member organizations. Attendance is required within three years of becoming an SOE Provisional Member (preferably within the first year).

Trainers
SOE trainers (usually two) conduct each SIW.

Cost
The SIW cost is $159 per attendee (plus travel and housing if necessary). If you are simultaneously registering for the host conference and paying those additional registration fees (plus additional housing and meals if necessary), your $159 SIW registration fee will be discounted to $129.

Current SIW Options
The SIWs marked with an asterisk (*) are piggy-backed onto SOE-approved STM Training Conferences so that you can fulfill both training requirements in just one conference. Click on the links below for more information on the SIWs (and/or STM Training Conferences):
