Abstract
Organizations which grow by responding dynamically and strategically to rapidly changing business environments require managers capable of analytical and creative thinking in individual and team contexts. Whilst management development of this kind is hard to achieve within a localised workplace, it is even more difficult in globally distributed workplaces. Appropriately designed online programs can facilitate effective management development within and across multi-site organizations. This requires, firstly, the insightful and purposeful development of a learning environment which is grounded in an understanding of the dynamics of learning and, secondly, the delivery of this environment online. These contexts require an instructional design model which focuses upon expertise development in collaborative settings - the key elements of our model.
