Adult learners with professional expertise resist change for specific reasons. Three resistance patterns — identity threat, expertise gap, and ROI doubt — each require different instructional responses.
Most assessments measure recall, not competency. The Competency Evidence Hierarchy — from recall through generation — offers a framework for designing assessments that reveal how someone actually thinks.
Most professional development programs produce awareness but not behavior change. The difference comes down to whether programs are designed around four specific transfer conditions — or around content delivery.
