Organizational learning: a theory of action perspective
-
In this book, Chris Argyris and Donald Schön describe the relationship between single-loop learning and double-loop learning, demonstrating how individuals and hence organisations as a whole can improve their capacity to learn and perform effectively. They also discuss theories-of-action (espoused theories) versus theories-in-use, the confusion of which may undermine double-loop learning.

There are many more who have been mentors, close collaborators and influences, but I have had to limit detailed reflection to some of the most influential. Those listed here (and others I am sure to have missed as my memory fails - tell me and I'll correct this!), have provided moral support, critical friendship and intellectual stimulation. Sometimes even the briefest connection has made a major impact!

Out of the Crisis
-
"Long-term commitment to new learning and new philosophy is required of any management that seeks transformation. The timid and the fainthearted, and the people that expect quick results, are doomed to disappointment." According to W. Edwards Deming, American companies require nothing less than a transformation of management style and of governmental relations with industry. In Out of the Crisis, originally published in 1982, Deming offers a theory of management based on his famous 14 Points for Management. Management's failure to plan for the future, he claims, brings about loss of market, which brings about loss of jobs. Management must be judged not only by the quarterly dividend, but by innovative plans to stay in business, protect investment, ensure future dividends, and provide more jobs through improved product and service. In simple, direct language, he explains the principles of management transformation and how to apply them.
