Colleagues -

The most recent issue of Inc. magazine profiles the differences in
companies that use as measurements based both on performance and learning
objectives in a brief executive summary near the beginning of the issue.
As a technical manager and consultant, I found it refreshing to find both
discussed in a related, causal fashion.

The gem I found from the article was in the development of performance
objectives, where the suggested technique was to frame these objectives in
the structure "I will plan to learn [learning objective] in order to
accomplish [performance objective].

I would be eager to here of further real-life examples and encourage you
to get a copy of this brief, 2-page abstract.

Regards, Bill.
