ADDIE Sucks?

I belong to the E-Learning Guild group in Linked-In and one of the most popular discussions right now is on whether or not ADDIE Sucks.  There seems to be a consensus that it is still a good tool for designing and developing training.  I sometimes think of this as the PowerPoint tool.  When PowerPoint was built, it took a look at how most presentation are constructed and then built a template around it:

First - Begin with title
Second - Agenda
Third Section One etc.

What if you were giving a presentation and not only didn't user PowerPoint but started off with asking the audience a series of questions?  Then taking their feedback and then delivering a presentation based upon the input you received from them as it related to the purpose of the presentation?

How might this change the experience and the impact to the audience - I"m guessing it would be something very different.

This is why we have developed the IMPROV model as another approach to designing and developing training, it forces the presenter and audience to approach the process differently.  I'm not saying you through ADDIE out the window but I think sometime it forces us approach a training project in a way that begins to look similar and therefor expect similar results or behaviors vs. challenging how we approach solving a training issue --- that may lead to a revelation that it's not a training issue at all.
