"As organizations take learning to the next phase, to meet the learning challenge at the global level, they will benefit from the insights and lessons presented in this excellent book." Eilif Trondsen, Director, Learning on Demand, SRI Consulting Business Intelligence

"Creating a Learning Culture is a book I devoured in several days and will be referring to for several decades...a practical book about what it takes to prosper in today's complex, information-bloated, topsy-turvy world." Jay Cross, CEO, Emergent Learning Forum and Founder, Internet Time Group

"Continuous, accelerated organizational learning represents the key discriminator between winners and losers. I strongly recommend this book to those who want to be counted amongst the winners!" Richard Bozoian, Director of Learning and Organizational Development, BAE Systems

"You will want to have Creating a Learning Culture within your grasp at all times... You can spend a second flipping open to almost any page, or take a whole sabbatical to really absorb it all, and in either case your time will be amply rewarded with new insights, inspiration and ideas." Wayne Hodgins, Strategic Futurist, Director of Worldwide Learning Strategies, Director of Strategic Executive Services, Autodesk Inc.

"...an indispensable resource... I would highly recommend this book as a quick launch for any serious student of organizational learning and a wonderfully rich reflective work for those who have a passion to create a more rewarding and innovative workplace."

"This powerful and unique collection of essays excited me with its picture of a strong learning culture and its practical insights on how to create one." J. Randolph New, Professor of Management Systems, Robins School of Business, University of Richmond

"This collection of condensed matter metalearning moved my cheese in so many dimensions that I would suggest the traffic warning 'Read Slowly: Curve Ahead'. Each essay develops Learning Culture from a different perspective, including the corporate learning officer,the organizational psychologist, the human capital management consultant, the technical visionary and (pardon the word) the social networkologist. In the world's current change-acceleration mode, we are better learning learning." John Sall, co-founder and executive Vice President, SAS Institute".

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read!, November 4, 2004
This collection of essays would make the perfect gift for that friend who loves nothing more than to curl up with a human resources manual. The fruit of a colloquium held at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business Administration in 2002, it brings together a wide range of contributors, spanning the spectrum from A to P - from academics who write about learning to practitioners who implement learning programs in corporations. The quality of the essays is uneven. Some of them are so chock-full of jargon that they could only make sense to a knowledge management consultant. Others are clear enough to be practical, at least in the hands of an insider. While the theoretical and abstract dominate the discussion, a couple of real-life case studies by actual executives bring the book down to earth. We recommend this compendium to practitioners in its field. They will particularly love the stimulating reflections of an Australian-born CEO who unabashedly professes his admiration for the great white shark and expresses the fond wish that his employees would approach learning in the spirit of great whites in a feeding frenzy.
