Self Managed Learning in Action - Putting SML into Practice (Hardcover, New Ed)

These authors, from the faculty of the Centre for Self Managed Learning, use examples from a wide range of organisations - including Ericsson, PPP Healthcare and Sainsbury's - to illustrate how self-managed learning (SML) has contributed to organisational change. They place SML in the context of changing global trends, offer case studies from nine different organisations, consider in depth strategic learning contracts, learning groups and supporting SML, and look to the future of learning. (Kirkus UK)

Over the last two decades the importance of Self Managed Learning (SML) has become increasingly recognized. This book shows how it has revolutionized learning in organizations such as Ericsson, PPP Healthcare and Sainsbury's, and how it has contributed to wider organizational change. The book consists of four Parts. Part I places SML against the backdrop of changing global trends and the organizational responses to them. It examines how these have led to the need for people to be more self managing and provides an overview of an SML programme. Part II shows SML programmes in action by presenting case studies from nine very different organizations which have used this approach. Part III looks at SML methods in more depth by concentrating on strategic learning contracts, learning groups and how SML can be supported. Finally, Part IV concludes and looks to the future. Rigorously researched, Self Managed Learning in Action demonstrates that this important approach can be used in a wide variety of contexts and cultures, in the private sector and in the public sector, and for a wide range of staff.
