		<description>I have worked with one of my clients for years. They know that every time they request a new training the first place we are going to start is with the objectives. What do they want to accomplish? What should participants be able to do differently? They used to roll their eyes at this exercise but once I explained the value of objectives and they began to use the materials and see the value first hand - now I don&#039;t have to bring up writing objectives - that is the first place they start!</description>

		<description>I totally agree with all the comments about using accelerated learning techniques to help learners meet business needs and the way I ensure that this happens is remember Pragmativity!

This is a made up word (by me) that combines pragmatic use of creative techniques, so if doesn&#039;t move learners on through their learning - don&#039;t do it!  That way, you only do what works rather than leaving people thinking &#039;great fun ... but what was all that about?&#039;.
