A Learning Approach to Change
Author: Ken GriffithsPublisher: Gower Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9780566077296
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Constant change is a given for most companies today. What differs is the scale, and the ability of people and organizations to deal with change in a positive, learning environment. Training must adapt too, to respond to the different learning styles of a new generation whose learning needs are the result of working in delayered, leaner, empowered organizations. Griffiths and Williams look at the implications for training and development, drawing on their first-hand experience of being with IBM during an extensive reengineering programme. With the aid of checklists, questions, summaries, 'food for thought' and numerous real-life examples, they show how to improve corporate performance through organized learning. The book underlines the vital importance of linking learning with business needs and evaluating it like any other investment.

Changing Your Spots
Author: Terry WilsonPublisher: Gower Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 9780566079870
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Leopards, we're told, can't do it. But there's no reason why you shouldn't. Few of us can escape change and the consequences of change. Sometimes we welcome it, but all too often we feel threatened. How we react is largely a question of whether or not we feel we can control it.This book is designed to help people to deal positively with change that others have initiated. Perhaps your company has been taken over or you've been made redundant after years of loyal service. Perhaps the change is more personal - the loss of a loved one, the breakup of a relationship. Whatever the cause, the critical factor is how you respond, take control, and move forward.There are ways of coping - and Terry Wilson shows how. Step by step he takes you through the process: letting go of the past, dealing with your feelings, seeking support from others - and moving on. This is no ordinary book on change. It is a carefully structured action manual, with exercises and self-assessments that will enable you to welcome change and achieve personal growth of spot-changing proportions!
