Learning Organization is Culture, Processes, and Leadership

The Performance Improvement Blog

“Organizational learning” and “learning organization” are terms that continue to be misused.

How Trainers are Holding Themselves Back

Mindflash

“Training needs to earn a seat at the table.”. “We need to show the ROI of training.”. “Leaders don’t understand the value of training.”.
