The over arching principle of lean is the elimination of waste and this is applicable to product development as to training.

Will read the book and post a review

So far, in as much as I’ve read, Six Sigma offers an interesting set of tools and questions to be answered, which helps narrow the scope of training development from a project management perspective. LEAN may offer something in that regard, as well.

This book is the first I’ve read or heard of that addresses a framework for ISD (a la ADDIE) and Six Sigma to play in the same sandbox. I’m not convinced yet that the best answer for aligning ISD to business practice is in between the pages of this book, but my gut tells me this book points in the right direction.
