16. An apparatus that creates a presentation as recited in claim 9 , including logic that tailors feedback based on regression analysis as the presentation executes.
9. An apparatus that creates a presentation to a user, comprising: a processor that executes a computer program to support the presentation; a memory that stores information under the control of the processor; logic that presents information indicative of a goal, the goal being associated with a skill required for the user in a business endeavor; logic that integrates information that motivates accomplishment of the goal; logic that monitors progress toward the goal and provides feedback that further motivates accomplishment of the goal, wherein: the feedback is characterized by a set of profiles and topics; the profiles trigger the topics in a concept tree to obtain a plurality of activated topics; and the feedback is selected from the plurality of activated topics in the concept tree by: identifying a top-most target group with an activated topic; if the top-most target group is a first type of feedback, selecting that feedback for display to the user without examining any other activated topics; and if the top-most target group is a second type of feedback different from the first type of feedback, grouping the activated feedback in the children target groups and assembling it into a feedback paragraph for display to the user; and logic that performs regression analysis of the computer program as the presentation subsequently executes.
