Reviews
"The contributions that Mark Loon has collected together in this volume do much to ensure that the student of business develops their own critical voice. They exhort the student to be guided by but not blinded by theory; to take responsibility for their own learning, and to recognize their role in helping and supporting their organization and its workforce in adapting to change." * Dr Geoffrey Elliott, Professor of Post-Compulsory Education, University of Worcester *
"Loon assembles a stellar line-up of experts to discuss the many facets of the modern L&D practitioner's role, from consultancy and cutting-edge digital solutions to planning learning with organisational context in mind. There are few more thorough introductions to the topic, and HR generalists with a learning remit will particularly enjoy it." * People Management *
"[a collection of] must-read topics on L&D, HR, Management and Consulting development plans that can be applied in the current VUCA climate with consideration of the digital technologies.... highly recommended for any L&D practitioner" * Kanta Pindora MBA, CMgr, MCMI, MIC, for the CMI Management and Consulting Book Club *
