I am struggling with the same issues - but I do believe there is room for everyone. The key now is determining which projects require more in-depth A&D (&E, if we're lucky) work and maximizing ROI on both the small and the large projects. Politics and money will play a big part in most companies in deciding which projects get the funding for the full ADDIE work. Brilliant post, man.

You're agonising about the same things as me. It will be interesting to see where this all leads. Great post Philip. You’re agonising about the same things as me.

Yesterday, I'm pulled into an emergency phone call. We have a variety of issues that pop up because even though we've standardized the use of Articulate to generate E-Learning, our ISDs are maturing in their E-Learning Design skills that they're now pushing the technical envelope of what you can do with Articulate... to the point where we have a small but pervasive set of repeatable issues with Articulate tracking in the LMS. Articulate, as a Rapid E-Learning tool, is the gateway... um.. tool to another tool. My people are self-identifying that Articulate can't be used for every E-Learning situation. I could've directed them to a better tool at the same time as I introduced them to Articulate (or instead of it), but without that pain, they would not have learned for themselves the **why**. The good news is that we're already on track for a collaborative tool (I'm currently fancying Unison, but I'm still pretty open to suggestions) that can handle a larger array of design requirements. The whole point is your whole point -- it takes time and effort to make something stick. Garbage in... is garbage out. Funny story, Philip…
