Haven't you ever considered there may actually be something in the presentation you may learn??? How much stuff do you put up on the web that is just palin boring and rubbish! “For example, I have no qualms about walking out of a boring presentation, even if I’ve been sitting in the front row.” that is just plain rudeness and arrogance – not all presentations are “edutainment”.

That’s no longer a good strategy for making money. In the old days, a highly proficient worker might outperform the average by 20 or 30 percent. Now that products are intangible, productivity knows no limits." It is not helpful to paint such a broad brush with regard to training. Today, despite most manufacturing moving offshore, the world is still full of companies with tangible products, and thankfully, some are still here in the US. My whole training experience is about what most people call "technical training" and what I prefer to call equipment training. Intel is well known for the saying: "Copy exact" by which is meant consistency or standardization. The process needs to be repeated exactly. There are best known methods that apply to the operation, maintenance, and application of the nearly billion dollar investments in extremely high tech machinery in a single fab (factory). While I understand we are talking about trends and tools, Jay, I think some care should be applied in using generalizations.
