Innovative Management
Best Practice Guidelines and Templates for Team Planning and Learning In Action
Alan G. Thomas
Ralph L. LoVuolo

This is the first book to present (1) a definitive, “learning organization” management model, integrated with (2) a model, team planning and learning in action process, with a simplified step-by-step guide, and (3) a comprehensive, backbone of best practices, with which to readily implement such a process. The book is endorsed as a “powerful management tool that can be used for self-help, or to help transform the mindset of an entire organization”…because…“it clearly illustrates how to achieve enterprise-wide, continuous learning and improvement.” Any manager can use it for self-help. However, when management teams use it as a team-learning tool, it will enable people to organize their face-to-face and online group discussions more effectively — and SAVE TIME. Enabling groups to think out-of-the-box in more focused ways is a very sensible approach to encouraging commitment toward organizational objectives. There is also a place for this book in graduate business education. It will be a great help to students, at minimum, just to always be able to see the larger picture when analyzing case studies. It clearly demonstrates how to apply systems thinking to business and management situations. Adobe e-Book with a 10-page linked Index; lay-flat Paper Text.
