11 March Piloting Change (...reality.)

We have been offering "pilots" in the training industry for as long as I can remember (and likely for much longer than that.)

Is a "pilot" something that occurs near the beginning? middle? end? of the training development cycle?

What is the difference between a "pilot" and a "proof of concept?"

What do we expect to gain from a pilot?

What do we expect to gain from a proof of concept?

What do we call a process that is designed to produce predetermined results?

What do we call a process that expects to find trouble and then creates a solution for it?

Which of the last two questions is more likely to describe something that deals well with change?

Which of the last two questions is more likely to describe something that leads to innovation?

Where do we use the two types of processes in the training industry?

Drucker asserts that "Everything new gets into trouble." Do you agree?

If true - then everything that still exists - and that at one time was new - somehow overcame the trouble?

Is it wise to hide/ignore/avoid trouble or is it better to seek it out and then address it?

What is the long term impact of hiding/ignoring/avoiding trouble? What is the short term impact?
