In any kind of organization, learning has become a vital part of the
growth and development process, but it only produces effective results
if it is pursued strategically and embedded deeply into the culture of
the workplace. In recent years, there has been a growing consensus that,
for many organizations, learning is their only sustainable competitive
advantage - ensuring a committed and engaged workforce that is
positioned to identify and exploit business opportunities in an
increasingly volatile and uncertain world. This makes it essential for
leaders and senior managers to investigate the full range of learning
processes and to understand exactly how individual, group, machine and
organization-wide learning can produce long-lasting results for
individuals as well as for the company itself.
Backed by new academic theory, yet designed to be completely accessible
to a business readership, The Learning-Driven Business highlights the
importance of Organizational Learning (OL) for organizations which wish
to remain competitive and profitable, before clarifying the various
pathways and frameworks that can lead to success. With the onset of
automation and artificial intelligence, as well as the proliferation of
redundancies and the economic instability of modern times, organizations
and their employees must prioritise effective OL in order to overcome
these challenges and remain competitive and relevant in the 21st
century. This book is a guide for all business leaders and academics
looking to adapt to the changing world through OL, using Garand & Golds'
unique and original academic model.
