ABC of Action Learning (The Mike Pedler Library)

the long version

"Professor Reg Revans in this new edition of his classic ABC of Action Learning distils the lessons of decades of experience applying the theory he originated - Action Learning - the most important idea to have emerged in management and organizational development since the war. Revans' lifelong mission has been to empower all managers in all organizations to act and to learn from action. The ABC of Action Learning sets out practical means of realising his vision. In today's rapidly changing environment where learning is needed to innovate constantly, Revans' ideas are more relevant than ever." "Today's organizations have to adapt to global competition, innovate constantly and respond to local community needs or else fail. In the face of such challenges, The Mike Pedler Library brings together distinguished business writers offering active approaches to developing individuals and organizations. Suspicious of easy answers, tools and techniques each book nevertheless offers ways forward, structures to use, directions to follow in order to engage your own energies, the ingenuity of colleagues and the aspirations of customers and stakeholders. Here is an invitation to self-confrontation that will lead to learning and action. You can't put such a book down without at least thinking of doing something differently. Book jacket."--Jacket.
