As mentioned in another reply to your message, you may want to pursue
some information on the "transfer of training."
 
An article on the subject that's available on the WWW can be found
at:  http://www.ucm.es/Prieto/psdifw5/
 
It's entitled The Transfer of Training [by Esther Bulthuis
([log in to unmask]) and Suzan Vernie ([log in to unmask])], Madrid, 1th
of June 1995.
 
I'm sure that there are other articles that are available
electronically, if necessary/preferred.
 
If you need information on a real-life example of companies and
programming providers working together to achieve organizational
impact through changed behavior, you may contact either Paul Slaggert
(U. of Cincinnati) or me.  We would be happy to discuss the efforts
of a dozen major corporations and two universities working together
as The Business Consortium.
