Making Sense of Organizational Learning

The ability of a business to learn is becoming increasingly important for success. In Making Sense of Organizational Learning, Cyril Kirwan examines the wide range of factors necessary to create and sustain organizational learning and knowledge at all levels. The book shows how to best exploit the knowledge that already exists within the organization while at the same time develop the capability of the people that work there, highlighting in particular the role of the HR function and of line managers. Each chapter provides theoretical background and real-world examples. Diagnostic questionnaires, checklists and other tools are also included. Making Sense of Organizational Learning provides an evidence-based argument for the adoption of effective organizational learning policies and practices, and offers a real opportunity to improve performance. Thinking practitioners as well as those undertaking post-graduate study in HR and related disciplines will find it invaluable.

Ideal for readers interested in business leadership & management.
