In reply to Ara Ohanian.

My observations, anecdotal of course, are that many L&D professionals lack network learning skills and an understanding of complexity. Approaches like ADDIE are formulaic. The old L&D favourite, Bloom's taxonomy, is used inappropriately as a prescriptive framework. Too often, people ask, just tell me what what to do, or give me the best practices to follow. Few ask how they can better develop their critical thinking skills. But of course, new skills can be taught, however it is much more difficult to change attitudes.
