Sculpting the Learning Organization : Lessons in the Art and Science of Systemic Change

A unique perspective from adult educators experienced in organizational change.

Shows human resource professionals, frontline managers, and others how people learn in the workplace and how to support that learning in programs that foster high employee involvement, in self-directed teams, or by addressing core organizational concerns such as balancing work and home life.

In eighteen illustrative case vignettes, individuals from such companies as AT&T, IBM, and Esso Petroleum describe in their own words the "action imperatives" that help create learning at four key levels--the individual, the team, the organization, and society."This is not a 'flavor of the month' management book; this is a 'blueprint for organizations in the 21st century.'"--Dr. Marie Volpe, former manager, education and development, Exxon Research & Engineering Company
