That awareness is important not only for those actually engaged in project work, in all sectors of industry and commerce, but also for senior managers, project sponsors and the other stakeholders.

This revised edition of the bestselling classic is based on fifteen years of experience in putting Peter Sengeās ideas into practice. As Senge makes clear, in the long run the only sustainable competitive advantage is your organizationās ability to learn faster than the competition.

Senge describes how companies can rid themselves of the learning blocks that threaten their productivity and success by adopting the strategies of learning organizations, in which new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, collective aspiration is set free, and people are continually learning how to create the results they truly desire.

⢠Reignite the spark of genuine learning driven by people focused on what truly matters to them
⢠Bridge teamwork into macrocreativity
