Work-Applied Learning for Change

"The book gives you a great structure and an encouraging and supportive set of ideas that will provide a sound foundation for using learning in the workplace as the drive for substantial organisational change. Far from the aggressive and manipulative command and control mentality of so much management 'advice', the WAL approach humanises the process of change management. It takes people into account, not just as variables in the equation, but as stakeholders and learners whose participation and work-applied learning is critical to achieving the benefits of change. This book should not be easily dismissed by the more traditionally-minded management scholars, as it stands on its own, with substantial academic merit, but more importantly, with demonstrable real-world application. It's a good book. I really do recommend it." Paul Davidson Associate Professor of Management, Queensland University of Technology Business School The book will be of special value for: Chief Executives and other senior managers and academics with a teaching and research interest in change management.
