Transforming the company: the differing learning practices of successful and unsuccessful companies

Abstract

Successful and unsuccessful companies adopt very different ways of managing change, competing and winning. Examining outcomes achieved enables the differing attitudes, approaches, behaviours and priorities of winners and losers to the integration of learning and working, partnering with consultants and business schools, operating in the international business environment and creating international learning networks to be compared. Learning, training and development activities and interventions should address the root causes of “losing” ways and focus upon, enable and support winning attitudes and approaches. Success is directly related to the number of critical success factors that are put in place. Hence, the payoff from activities that address them can be considerable.
