1. it all depends on…..

   …what constitutes a "division"

   and

   …what your contract is regarding ownership of the intellectual property

   and

   …what your company will get out of the continued delivery

   and

   …what your relationship is like

   My approach is that if I am going to continue to earn through delivery, and there is no further development to do, I'll be happy to continue to provide a service and get a fair day's pay.

   I doubt that helps much!

2. I would concur

   My feedback would be:

   1. If you are not designing a course why would you charge someone for that existing material? If you have designed a generic course to offer to other 'divisions' then how you choose to charge that is determined by how much they are prepared to pay. BUT

   2. You should clarify who 'owns' the material you designed? I have met trainers who are asked and paid to create a bespoke program for a company and then expect they can use that again. No, the company have paid for your time and input and the intellectual property belongs to them. 

   Just my thoughts.

3. Thanks

   Thanks for your thoughts Rus and Carl

   The division is actually a country and we are having a meeting tomorrow to finalise contracts etc so I was interested to hear other people's thoughts. We are designing and piloting for a region of four countries (who are paying for it) It is not existing material and based around a very specific need for that region. We already know other countries outside the region are interested so I am testing the water as to how best to approach this. Once development is complete we will train regional and country master trainers who will deliver internally (in three different languages to up to 4,000 people). 

    

   Thanks
