Learning organizations, where staff are encouraged to learn and develop skills that may not be directly relevant to their particular job, are viewed by many as the model for the successful organization of the future. This manual combines thinking on positive workplace transformation with practical exercises and techniques for bringing about achievable change within organizations of all types. Beginning by offering a critical and comprehensive evaluation of the 'learning organization' and workplace learning, the author goes on to explore the basic concepts that enable an individual, team or organization to begin the process of workplace learning transformation. Detailed strategies for bringing about customised change are provided, while the final part of the book provides a toolkit of activities to help readers identify the needs of their organization and construct a workable action plan for creating a learning environment.
