Teaching old dogs new tricks

Abstract

The L-word is spreading. People with a particular learning style work in action learning groups in a learning organisation. They are encouraged, to indulge in life long learning, perhaps e-learning after a learning needs analysis. But what needs to be learnt, by whom, and when is not always clear. What is clear to any training manager is that the world is neatly divided into learno-phobes and learno-philes. The former strongly resist all learning initiatives, the latter embrace them all.
