I have long said that the ADDIE model is not the end all. We developed an alternative approach "IMPROV" model to take the approach of designing the training to pinpoint a tangible business impact and then design backwards. We also recommend that you engage the trainee in contributing to the content of the training vs. just repurposing existing content. I = impact, M = measurement, P = Real World Proof, R = Results, O = Ongoing -- training will change as conditions to business change V= variety- allow trainees to select how they want to learn.
