Harold,

I think it is courageous of you to attempt to describe the practices found in the field of education with the practices of the corporate world. As someone who has spent time in both, I am amazed about how polar they are in their approaches and performance indicators.

Within the corporate world, dominated by stakeholder needs, tthe bulk of the learning is informal in delivery and takes the just-in-time approach. In the educational world is it more dominated by formal just-in-case learning. This polarity, i think has a fundamental effect on the managemtn dynamics.
