This book is very detailed, and discusses new approaches, techniques ... and methods to achieve liberating yet learning-centred breakthrough results at individual, team and organisational level. Chief Human Resource Officers as well as their peers, and Chief Learning Officers and their associated practitioners, will all benefit from not just reading this very compelling text but studying and applying all its valuable lessons in their quest both to accelerate learning and achieve tangible results."e;~ Johan Ludike, Head of Talent Management, Yum University, Yum Brands Africa"e;Congratulations to Debbie and Kerryn, who have captured the essence of accelerated learning, a process which, particularly in a dynamic markets context, is so important to change the status quo, where so many people have potential for greatness but have often lacked opportunities and mentorship."e;~ Shaun Rozyn, Executive Director: Corporate Education, Gordon Institute of Business Science "e;What an amazing read - it is truly a book that keeps on giving! It stimulates thinking about accelerated learning and is full of modern and practical content, presented in an easily accessible and understandable manner. The gamification throughout the book places the reader in the milieu of an active learner through the experience of reading the book and accelerating one's own learning."e; ~ Liza Govender, Executive Manager: Talent, Transnet"e;Both Kerryn and Debbie bring their valuable practical lessons learnt, their passion for this subject, and their deep expertise in this field to us in a practical and useful manner. I have had the [good] fortune of working in organisations and in consulting for organisations in this field for over 20 years, and I wish I had had this book 20 years ago already!"e;~ Lou-Anne Lubbe, previous MD, People & Organisation Talent, Accenture South Africa
