All of you have given very valid aspects of communication that IDs need to have. I would like to mention -- advocacy as an important competency for all IDs. There are times when training sponsors want a 'quick course' or 'a 2-hr course' etc. We believe that the learning objectives and their levels should decide the duration of the course. Here is where advocacy plays a role. Being able to engage with the sponsor and enable him/her to see the importance of a certain duration of a course in order to achieve certain performance outcomes requires that one is assertive and clear and have the ability to advocate the cause of ID. That's all -- thanks. Based on the recent experiences I have had, I would like to elaborate on point which has already been mentioned — communication.
