In some cases, they are new to the game. Others are looking for some new approach. I get concerned when means becomes passion s promise. When a method or a means becomes more famous than its purpose, it s doomed to fall short of that promise. The Internet sounds like another one of those.
Education is no different.
Over and over business educators have become enamored with different methods. I think that s separated education from operations in a deep and often foolish way. Today people talk a lot about the need to get better at measuring the impact of our learning solutions. The reason that s so hard is that learning solutions are derived from someplace other than the nature of the business they re trying to serve. For instance, somebody has a hot, generic leadership course, or something derived from a best seller.
