Organizational resilience : how learning sustains organizations in crisis, disaster, and breakdown
Kayes, D ChristopherAuthor
Drawing on a wide range of examples from government, finance, engineering, and commercial air travel, this book illustrates how the breakdown of learning threatens organisational continuity. The book challenges conventional wisdom on why organisations fail by suggesting that the breakdown of learning is behind many high-profile organisational failures. The book outlines ways that leaders learn from their experience and how learning translates into benefits for the organisation.
