Learning Imperative: Raising performance in organisations by improving learning

Narrated by Mark Burns, The Learning Imperative examines the key ingredients that ensure effective learning, and offers leaders step-by-step guidance on how they can achieve it in their own teams and organisations.

Learning is central to the long-term success of any team and is far too important to dismiss or to relegate to a 'nice to do' list. The Learning Imperative, co-authored by bestselling authors Mark Burns and Andy Griffith, explores the common barriers to effective learning and presents a range of practical tools and strategies to help teams bring about and reap the benefits of - a more positive culture around training and development.

The audiobook maps out the key stages of the learning journey and provides a comprehensive guide for team leaders and managers who want to improve learning in their teams. It also shares essential advice on the design and delivery of effective training programmes, as well as a range of illuminating case studies drawn from real-life contexts across the public, private and third sectors.
