I don't know why, but I have been getting a tremendous amount of interest recently in a concept I first put forth a few years ago called Learning Accord.
It suggests that you can rank many aspects of a Formal Learning Program (FLP) from tactical to strategic, including:
- Type of learning material;
- Types of results needed; and
- Processes used.
With this organization, you can accurately predict how well a program will work. The most successful FLP's have a great deal of accord between the material, results, and processes, and the least successful have significant discord. So if you are planning any FLP, I would strongly suggest an early meeting between buyer, builder, and deployer around the issue of accord.
If you are interested in learning more about the idea, use the link above (Learning Accord) or check out the appendix in Learning By Doing. After that, feel free to email me and I can send you a ppt of the charts, including an academic version that has not been published anywhere.

Clark, I'm a huge fan of your concentric-circle planner. So many presentations are lists, as if levels have no meaning. Your format makes it easy to spot things that are out of line or left out.
