A corporate learning centre gives every employee access to learning and development, when, where and how they want. This book provides a concise and highly practical guide to creating such a centre, whilst identifying common pitfalls.
Few corporate initiatives of the last ten years of the 20th century have been more influential in the development of a learning culture at work than the corporate learning centre.
The first edition of Sam Malone's book, published in January 1997, was a concise guide to best practice. The second edition reflects the lessons learned since that time, along with the developments in learning technology.
Setting up and sustaining a successful centre involves strategic skills such as planning and championing; technical skills, including budgeting, marketing and evaluation; and the people skills of communicating, influencing and managing change.
There are chapters in How to Set Up and Manage a Corporate Learning Centre for all the stakeholders involved, including the learners themselves. The book offers definitive advice on all of these areas. Sam Malone demystifies what is a difficult, expensive and long-term project for any organisation.
