Product Description
Review
"Performance Through Learning is a terrific book that does a great job in presenting the challenges and opportunities of knowledge management and organizational learning. The case studies highlight best practices of companies around the world. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone interested in preparing organizations to successfully face the future."
-- Dr. Mike Marquardt, Professor, George Washington University; Author, Building the Learning Organization
"This is the most definitive work I know of that clearly links knowledge management strategy with enhancements in organization learning. Complete with several first-hand accounts of related case studies, Gorelick and her collaborators make it clear to all who will listen that KM has become a powerful, new social science, not a fleeting technology, and is here to stay!"
-- Mark W. McElroy, President, Knowledge Management Consortium International (KMCI), CEO, Macroinnovation Associaties, LLC
"Most books on KM focus on either practice or theory. This one brings them together using real experience to bridge across know-what, know-how,
know-why and know-when. Regardless of where you are on your KM journey, this book will help you take a next step."

Getting value out of learning, 15 Aug 2005
By J L Ritchie-Dunham "co-author of Managing fro... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Performance Through Learning: Knowledge Management in Practice (Improving Human Performance) (Paperback)
While we are all clear that we need to learn to be successful in today's market, it is far from clear how to justify "learning" from an economic perspective. It takes time and resources that don't come cheap to the organization, at least not to mine. Based on the authors' experience with cutting edge HR groups, this book shows us how some leading organizations are strategically linking learning and performance. The academic training in the authors provides a clear framework, while the practitioner in them gets to the punch line -- how do we justify to our peers and shareholders what we know to be important.
