Dr. Michael Marquardt, President of the World Institute for Action Learning, Professor at George Washington University, and author of Building the Learning Organization "The true heartbeat of competitive advantage is learning the ability to??live the learning??in real time, apply that learning to drive exceptional performance, and teach that application to others.??Russell Sarder, our most passionate CEO of Learning, understands this because he has??lived it??in his business and in his life.??Building an Innovative Learning Organization??takes us deep into the heartbeat of learning to deliver greater value for our businesses while we grow greater value within ourselves."
