Building the Learning Organization
Mastering the 5 Elements for Corporate Learning
Recommendation
Okay, so you already know that everyone in your organization needs to be learning new skills and tactics all the time. If you wonder just how to accomplish that, on top of everything else you’re doing, turn to Michael J. Marquardt’s Building the Learning Organization for step by step guidance. Human resource professor Marquardt introduces the internal systems you need for structured, company-wide learning. In his professorial way, he runs through its dimensions, principles, practices and ideals in detail (all you ever wanted to know and perhaps just a bit more). He provides an instructive general framework, guidelines and sixteen steps to follow in creating a learning organization. He’s a man with a plan, system by system, complete with charts, models, principles and subsystems. This tool box for implementation leaves the theoretical reader out of the loop, but getAbstract.com confirms that if you want something you can put into action as an executive, manager or human resource chief, here’s your hands-on manual.
