Product Description
John Priestley
Organisation and Employee Development Officer
The Chief Executives Directorate
Sheffield City Council
"This work is a must read for anyone who has employee, development, manager, organisation or performance in their post title. Garvey and Williamson really get under the skin of building capability in organisations as they recognise the complex social interaction that most of us refer to as the workplace.
The book is written in a very clear, easy to read style, so much so, that I felt I had genuine dialogue with the authors. The case studies are of particular use as they helped with my assimilation of the contextual and situational issues of the concept at hand.
Overall I was impressed by the way a socially centred approach to problem solving, development and change Is presented in contrast to the ‘systems re-engineering’ strategy that is so often considered to be the panacea when things are thought to be broken. This book opens up realistic options in a non-prescriptive way, inclusive options, ways of being, that prompt a second look at existing organisation and employee development strategies and also the next raft of project plans and performance or workforce development initiatives."

Beyond Knowledge Management
"For Directors and Managers looking beyond the 'quick fix' management tools, this book provides a thoughtful insight into a topic now recognised as essential for sustainable organisational growth.
While tackling a complex subject, the book is threaded through with common sense."
Product Description
"Garvey and Williamson's book presents a significant and much needed advance of the literature on knowledge management. This text opens up the horizons to show the complex human and social dimensions of generating, transmitting and maintaining useful knowledge in organizations. Both erudite and practical, the authors address the topic from multiple theoretical and epistemological perspectives and thus pay tribute to its complex nature. At the same time, the book succeeds in showing the strateic importance of knowledge management in the context of human resource development and oranizational change. A much needed addition to existing literature and of great value to both academic and practitioner audiences."K. Peter Kuchinke, Professor of Human Resource Development, University of Illinois, USA "This book lives up to its title. It takes the fashionable topic of knowledge management and explores in depth its broader implications, particularly those concerned with organisational and individual learning."Michael Armstrong, Independent Management Consultant, author and Fellow of the CIPD and Institute of Management Consultants This unique, engaging and timely book explores the ways in which learning and knowledge processes link to the success of an organisation. IT encourages managers to think critically and offers useful frameworks for identifying and releasing tacit knowledge.
