In addition to probation, I've noticed this in other fields that I've worked in - people will slightly tweak a program or procedure, rename it and/or change the names of the steps/phases/etc. and then call it their own. The might get an award out of it or they might even be marketing the process as a consultant or trainer.
I recently learned about this philosophy called Positive Youth Development. Basically, it is mentoring. Swap in a few fancy terms and throw in a spin. Gather some data and show that it has the magical probation flavor of the month with Evidence Based results and you've got yourself something else to mandate all staff for training on it!
Same thing by a different name...
