Description
This step-by-step guide shows how trainers may use Self-Organised Learning (SOL) to achieve real and lasting change within an organization at all levels. It provides exercises designed to develop a theoretical and practical insight into the processes of learning and self-development. The authors focus on the innovative processes of learning through personal experience which continues to develop throughout life. In this way the learner can endure change which is constantly monitored, evaluated and refined by the learner, and should have immediate and lasting benefits to an organization. In addition, the book looks at challenging personal myths about learning; the importance of developing a language for learning; personal learning contracts for change; new and tested methods for measuring progress in learning and a powerful multi-perspective tool for evaluating change; and it employs a conversational system approach for individual, team and organizational growth.
