Exactly, and over time as we did more surveys we would learn more and more about how to do them, what questions to ask, how to choose the population surveyed, how to see that the response are statistically suitable, etc. After asking an initial set of questions, we'd think of other questions that would refine the information. When we saw a trend, we would be able to create sets of questions that allowed us to follow that trend with greater certainty. >Success is too broad a term connoting different > things to different persons unless the type of success is specified.

The more we learn about what goes right and what goes wrong for the people we have trained, the more we know about training. The same for business practice, our impact on society, or the perceptions of the populations we serve. Bob bob Paradigm Publications www.paradigm-pubs.com 44 Linden Street Robert L.
