I am intrigued by your last comment here, Paul. On what basis did you
conclude your answer? Would this hold for the organization which you are
developing? What do you mean when you say "change and therefore true
learning?" In your experience how does change and true learning take
place?
Please say more about what and how you learned from your "pilot project".
