Great post once again Harold. I agree, "I see change everywhere". In my observations, it's not only learning teams in organisations or institutions that need to change and recreate the traditional ways of training into learning experiences. It's wider than that. I have smaller businesses, some of whom are vendors who offer training products and services to the public or to organisations who are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to get "into the 21st century" as their clients ask for more blended programs - shorter programs - but still achieve the same outcomes. Dare I say it, the tools that Jane offers as tools for professional development are not for learning people alone - they're for everyone. This is where I'm grappling to understand the enormity of the change and how, for the first time, you're not only helping a client design and develop the learning experience - but you need to teach them how to use the tools so it becomes part of their social behaviour to build their own business, brand and reputation.

(Oh by the way, thanks for the recommendation of the book Reinventing Organizations. I can see our organisation is an amber but strange that Human Resources is a fierce but fiery red)...
