IVI’s training programme – based on established adult

education theory & principles

- Bloom’s taxonomy of the cognitive domain1 involves

the development of knowledge and intellectual skills,

including:

• recall or recognition of specific facts

• procedural patterns

• concepts that serve in the development of intellectual

abilities and skills

- Each level can address of number of cognitive areas:

• Concept: What is a CBB?

• Fact: Define a Practice, Outcome, Metric

• Process: Generate an IT-CMF assessment report

• Procedure: Conduct an IT-CMF Executive

Assessment

• Principle: How, why, when to apply IT-CMF to support

organisation transformation

- Content items and associated “practices” (or learning

activities) are presented to the learner to support the

learning objective.
