Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change means learning. There is no possibility for organizations to change unless the people in them learn. In this new book Ian Cunningham writes about his pioneering work in developing strategic learning. He shows the need to go beyond vague prescriptions for 'learning organizations'. Instead he advocates the value of a 'learning business' which integrates learning with the strategic direction of the organization. He elaborates practical examples of implementing strategic learning, using self managed learning. For the organization, self managed learning has a strategic advantage in creating a focused, active and committed team. Ian Cunningham's powerful, tried-and-tested approach is backed by evaluation research evidence and by its success in organizations such as Shell in the Netherlands, the Hiram Walker Group in the UK and Valmet in Finland.
