Report
"I have been involved with hundreds of organizations since the COVID-19 pandemic and it is clear to me that learning is crucial for their survival, but also to build their resilience. I love this book. it has really become the standard text on building learning cultures in organizations. The first edition was good, but this second edition is even better. Highly recommended."
