Description:... 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. The concepts have long been appreciated but many organizations have found it difficult translating theory into practical strategies. Learning Unlimited combines the best of recent thinking on positive workplace transformation with practical exercises and proven techniques for bringing about achievable change within organizations of all types. Beginning by offering a critical and comprehensive explanation 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 customized change are provided while the final part of the book provides a comprehensive tool kit of activities to help readers to identify the particular needs of their organizational and to construct a workable action plan for creating a learning environment
