Organizational Resilience

Reviews / Votes

'Organizations that manage to increase their resilience will have enormous advantages over their competitors in the face of the drastic changes that loom over the next decades. Few consultants are as experienced as Elizabeth Christopher and Elyssebeth Leigh in using role playing games to help corporate managers short through their priorities and develop new strategies. Here they share their insights and a number of useful exercises. Their book will be a useful addition to the library of anyone who works with management on issues of resilience and sustainability.' -- Dennis Meadows, Emeritus Professor of Systems Management, and President, Laboratory for Interactive Learning 'At last a simple and effective text for the practitioners of experiential learning and an excellent tool for classroom engagement. The experiential approach to learning sets this book apart from other texts and this unique offering is directly compatible with the recent AACSB emphasis on developing student skills and competencies through engagement and hands on experience to make them work ready. As an advocate of experiential learning I highly recommend this book as a university text but also strongly feel it is well suited to corporate training as the vast experience of the authors in both academia and industry is evident throughout this book.' -- Meena Chavan, MacQuarie University, Sydney, Australia
