At this point in my life, I have had very little experience outside of the Collegiate / University setting in Higher education, thus Chapter 22 was quite a bit easier for me to relate to in terms of Instructional Design.
One of the biggest themes that I have noticed over the past three chapters is the vast complexity in the world of Instructional Design when it comes to change. Whether changing or adding a curriculum in higher education, making a piecemeal , or systemic change in a P-12 setting, or changing a training strategy in the business world, these type of ID projects are very complex, and require a critical need for collaboration, teamwork, and solid communication.
Although complexity is one of the common themes that I see in the chapters, I think that the context of Instructional design is really quite different in the Business and Industry sectors, or at least compared to Higher education, and P-12 settings.

I agree it is a very complex process reguardless of which venue you are creating it for and it does take teamwork. The key is who is on your team? Is it people who know what is going on and how it should work or is it people who want it to work a certain way but do not have the hands on experience to know.
I agree that instructional design is complex whether in P-12 or the buisness realm. Next week our school, actually our whole district, is going to a two day conference to learn about formative assessment process by W. James Popham. He is the keynote speaker for both days. Hopefully this school improvement "piecemeal" will stay simple.
