AB  - Management is as much about tackling tough challenges as it is about
creating success. However, there has been no major focus on learning
from tough challenges and the difficulties people experience as a
consequence. Describes the first phase of a survey in this area, based
on interviews with 55 managers plus 50 responses to questionnaires.
Concludes there is a gap in the capacity of organizations to adapt and
learn. Specifically, organizations seemed to be lacking in skill areas
and systems that would help managers learn from the experience of their
tough challenges. This could hold organizations back in the ability to
develop competitiveness.
