"This paper draws on recent research and evaluation work undertaken by Associate Professor John Henry and colleagues at the Research Institute for Professional and Education & Training (RIPVET) exploring the concept of Registered Training Organisation (RTO) preparedness for flexible learning, and the dynamics between strategic change management at the organisational level and professional development of staff. The two projects reported on here are a 2000-2001 TAFE frontiers commissioned research project called Support Services for Flexible Delivery and the ANTA commissioned Evaluation of LearnScope 2002.

The approaches used in both projects were informed by the Generalisations from Case Studies research method (Smith and Henry 1999, Henry, 2000)."
