Learning in Chaos : Improving Human Performance in Today's Fast-Changing, Volatile Organizations (Improving Human Performance Series)

Rating:
Summary: Beautifully crafted book on a difficult topic
Review: This book grounds theoretical notions of chaos and complexity into the realities of learning and organisational performance. And does so with exceptional clarity. The author leads you through the concepts and applications of technical and classical chaos theory in a pragmatic way. I found the descriptions of the various models of learning (such as social, cognitive, behavioural etc, although concise, very informative. The topics of 'Chaos' and 'Learning' are brought together with practical examples and suggestions on how to lever new thinking to produce improved organisational performance. An excellent book that is full of content and helpfully chunks this into manageable sections and chapters. The chapter references are commendable.
