The concepts have long been appreciated but many organizations have found it difficult translating theory into practical strategies.

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
