They learnt communications, culture and business negotiations on the job. The training wasn’t formal, there were no strict rules and they were only educated with “don’t”s. However, since ignorance was indigenous, people invariably found a variety of ways of goofing up.

It wasn’t necessarily a speech or talk, rather it was more like an open house which focused on the topic “Creating value comprehensively for all stake holders”.

The topic for the class was New Product Development. He chose one example and based on that example he explained the whole concept. This was easy for us to relate the concept and it was free from complexity. He chose “Indica hair dye” product of CK as his example.
