One of the most important aspects of conducting an FEA is to know how to "adjust fire" based on an unexpected event. Knowing how to improvise and adjust, while maintaining professionalism, can speak volumes of you and your company. *Note: this improvising and adjusting is not discussed in a text book.*Specialties: All phases of instructional systems, with emphasis on the ADDIE and Dick and Carey ISD models, MIL-HDBK-29612, and NAVEDTRA training products.Other duties: company Quality Assurance Professional and certified internal ISO auditor.
