The Difference Engine

With each turn of the crank, results are seen. The analogy of the "Difference Engine" can also be applied to training design and development. Too often we equate the ADDIE model to a 30, 60, 90 day review cycle. If it weren't for pressing business needs, this model would work fine. In reality, 90 days can mean the difference between keeping or loosing an account. We need to change our approach to the standard instructional design model in order to get faster, smaller, and regular updates to our curriculum. We need to continue to turn the crank and produce small results frequently in order to move our business forward.
