Pedler, Burgoyne and Boydell believe that there is a massive underdeveloped potential in our organisations which is waiting to be released. By making theirs a learning company - an organisation which facilitates the learning of all its members and continuously transforms itself - managers can help ensure the future success of their organisation. Whilst illustrating that there is no set path to follow the vision of the Learning Company, this innovative book offers a starting point with practical pointers where you can take steps for developing this type of organisation.
