But this year, the stars aligned, and we were fortunate enough to be able to send our entire learning and development team to Denver for the ASTD International Conference and Expo. I think a team’s ability to debate ideas like this and come up with its own solutions that best suit its problems is crucial.

The answer is "no" we haven't, but my personal belief is that part of our issue in learning and eLearning is the lack of focus on what our real problems are - what the real questions are. If e-learning had never been invented/conceived, would our clients/employers be better or worse off? Clive also included some questions.
