| Abstract: | The article focuses on factors influencing the effectiveness of corporate education programmes. The authors report on two recent studies. They examine the first - covering 31 educational programmes in The Netherlands - to identify factors influencing the design, quality and effects of corporate education. They apply the conceptual framework thus derived to the second - a development programme for clinical directors working in the UK National Health Service - in order to explore initial propositions. Their findings suggest that 'external consistency' is the primary determinant of success for formal programmes; that a relational and systematic approach in curriculum development has a major part to play in achieving such consistency. |
