Learning Strategies for Sustainable Organisations explores
sustainability in the context of organisational practice and its
implications for learning. Based on a systems thinking approach, it
provides a thorough grounding in the principles of systems thinking
and tools that can be used to help implement sustainability-focused
learning strategies. Increasingly, organisations are recognising
the importance of adapting their practices to become more
sustainable. Drawing on the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development
Goals as a framework, new knowledge, skills and attitudes are
required to help provide products and services that align with
changing social and ecological environments and better serve the
communities of which they are a part. This book is a practical
guide showing how to facilitate sustainability learning and
development within organisations, explaining how to identify gaps
in current practice, take into account different contexts and
perspectives about what sustainability means, and evaluate results
following implementation. Learning resources include chapter
summaries, illustrations, reflection points, mind maps and further
reading. Written by an independent performance and learning
consultant with extensive experience working with international
organisations, this book provides a necessary toolkit for human
resource development directors, training managers, chief
sustainability officers and management consultants specialising in
sustainable development.

Changing work roles, greater emphasis on individual autonomy, the
growing importance of relationships, the complexity of many
businesses; all these things call into question the prevailing
approach to training needs analysis and evaluation, which still
tends to be based on a simple gap analysis between job requirements
and an employee's knowledge and skills. Bryan Hopkins's Learning
and Performance takes a systemic approach to workplace performance,
training needs and the basis on which we can analyse them and
evaluate the subsequent training. The author's approach offers a
model for HR and training departments that is relevant and
sufficiently sophisticated for today's workplaces. As with all his
books, Bryan Hopkins combines a complete understanding of learning
and organisational theory with pragmatic examples, ensuring a book
that will be read and applied in equal measure.
Title first published in 2003. Despite all the hype about
e-learning, the real breakthrough in technology, at least as far as
HR goes, is in the development of the corporate intranet for people
management purposes. Bryan Hopkins and James Markham's book
explains the potential for intranets in every aspect of HR:
personnel administration, performance management, employee
development, communication and knowledge management, as well as
training and e-learning. It asks and answers the key questions you
need to ask yourself and provides case studies illustrating how
organizations have successfully exploited their intranet to help
their people work more effectively and efficiently. HR managers are
under pressure to cut costs, increase the effectiveness and range
of the services they deliver. In many organizations there is also
considerable pressure to maximise the returns on investment in
technology. This book provides you with the means to achieve all of
these goals.

One of the most significant and yet largely overlooked factors
influencing performance and workplace problem solving in many large
organizations is that of national culture. Managers, and the
organizations for which they work, need to be able to understand
the influence of cultural values and beliefs on performance in
order to identify appropriate solutions; strategies appropriate in
one part of the world may be ineffective or even counter-productive
in another. Bryan Hopkins' ground breaking book relates the concept
of cultural dimensions, as developed by writers such as Hofstede
and Trompenaars, to the performance engineering approaches of
Gilbert and Mager and Pipe, to show how strategies for solving
workplace performance problems need to consider the cultural
composition of the workforce. It then provides a practical
structure for problem solving within the context of an
international, multi-cultural environment. This is a book for both
managers working in an international setting or for those in
national organizations who are dealing with the challenge of
culturally diverse workforces. It's also a book for governments
seeking to understand the potential implications of national
culture on civilian or even military interventions.
Whatever the potential of an Intranet for your organization, it's
only going to be as effective as the information that you post onto
it. Whether you are trying to give staff access to information,
communicate with them more proactively, or provide them with
training and development, you need to be rigorous in deciding what
should and shouldn't be posted; how to present it and how it will
work.
