Filling a gap in the literature, this book offers an innovative
interdisciplinary approach to learning for corporate strategic
development, linking the domains of strategy, organizational
design, and learning. To demonstrate how this process drives the
boundaries of the practice way beyond the established notion of
simple training and management education, the book is filled with
detailed case studies from leading global organizations, including
Siemens, ABB, BASF, the US Army, PricewaterhouseCoopers, EADS,
Novartis, and more. These studies reveal how large-scale
corporations are using the power of dynamic corporate learning
approaches to drive innovation, enhance cultural values, master
post-merger integration, transform business models, enhance
leadership culture, build technological expertise, foster strategic
change processes, and ultimately increase bottom line results.
For any company that wants to compete in the 21st century, Designing the Smart Organization offers inspiring perspectives for integrating corporate learning as a core business practice that will create sustainable strategic and organizational capabilities.
