Description: "A few years ago, a new learning initiative came to aerospace giant Rockwell Collins. Built to Learn is the story of why it stayed. Once regarded as a change-averse organization, Rockwell could have been the poster child for old-fashioned corporate training: lackluster offerings in bland classroom settings, with little connection to the strategic goals of the organization. But in less than three years, Rockwell's training offerings had expanded by 400 percent, instruction was available 24/7 to more than 17,000 employees around the world, and training and development expenses had decreased by 23 million dollars."--BOOK JACKET.
