4.0 out of 5 stars Nuts-and-bolts of a Learning Organisation, August 2, 2000
This review is from: Building the Learning Organization: A Systems Approach to Quantum Improvement and Global Success (Hardcover)
This is one of the few books that manage to get into the guts of learning organisations, past conceptual pondering and into nuts-and-bolts of turning the concepts into practices.

The structure of this book is somewhat confusing, as it is easy to lose track of the nested levels of subtitles, with about the same size of headings. Several pages long lists do not make it any easier to remember, what is the actual issue of the chapter in question.

This book is widely used in management courses but I would not require my students to memorize those lengthy lists of connected tidbits. In my opinion this is much more applicable as a thought provoker or even a reference for a manager of an emerging learning organisation.

This is not a bad book, far from it. Especially the use of actual cases to stress the point of each chapter works very well.
