Best book on the foundations of a learning organization!

This is a highly practical book with lots of specific principles and steps for building a learning organization. Also several excellent examples of learning organizations from around the world.

Insightful!

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 we from getAbstract confirm that if you want something you can put into action as an executive, manager or human resource chief, here's your hands-on manual.

From technology and globalization to the increasing power of customers, the forces that have created the seismic changes in business today also serve as the foundation stones for the next generation of learning organizations. BUILDING THE LEARNING ORGANIZATION shows how to follow the path forged by such world-class leaders as Nokia, Alcoa, and Canadian Imperial Bank to adapt and survive broad-based change and scale the ladder of corporate learning.

In this new edition of his award-winning book, Michael Marquardt brings up-to-date his time-honored advice on how to harness the collective genius of people in organizations to build, maintain, and sustain the power of the learning organization. He has added dozens of case studies to demonstrate the power of his Systems Learning Organization model and to illustrate how each of the five subsystems--learning, organization, people, knowledge, and technology--support and energize one another. With specific recommendations for using the tools of action learning to build each of the critical subsystems, this proven resource includes assessments, new examples, and a detailed set of action steps for reaching the next stage of organizational success.
