So true. There is a real polarization between the “use once and toss it out” school of thought and the version control school. Growth in chaos is not a linear function — it all goes horribly wrong horribly fast . . .

You talk specifically about compliance issues here but I'd say that the actual survival of an organization may very well depend on effectively managing this chaos. When organizations have a giant set of disconnected files that require tons of maintenance if there is a change or update, when they have no mechanisms for sharing or reusing content across multiple delivery modalities, and when they have no ability to effectively filter through volumes of content for rapid customization, they will never be able to cost-efficiently and in a rapid time-to-market meet the needs of their employees or the requirements of their clients or prospects. Unfortunately, many training organizations still operate in this manner, hence the explosive growth of the disposable rapid e-learning market that you mention. Is it any wonder training departments often struggles to gain a level of prominence within an organization? Thanks Jay, this is a great post.
