Guy, as many of you know, has been an instructional designer and performance improvement consultant nearly as long as Thiagi. They have known each other for decades and over the years have had many formal and informal dialogues about what they do differently, and what that they have learned from each other.

Rather than a debate, however, the session turned into a masters’ class hosted by two of the greats. Our hope was to re-capture some of that here. http://thiagi.net/podcasts/tgti_podcast_08.mp3 E01C433C-6367-40D4-997F-0BDDA839DFF1-2289-00002AAEA30DB093-FFA Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:38:14 -0400 Episode 8: The Guy Wallace/ Thiagi Discussions, Pt. 1 This is part 1 of a two part series where Thiagi and our friend, Guy Wallace dive deeply into a discussion about their different instructional design approaches.
