Stay Ahead of the Curve
A fundamental fact of business life is that in the long-run learning is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. Learning is the best way to:
- Stay ahead of the curve in a world which is increasingly volatile, uncertain, and ambiguous;
- Improve job satisfaction and performance;
- Enhance employee retention and engagement;
- Innovate and change;
- Improve leadership, decision-making and return on investment;
- Maximise your own development and grow your business.

From Theory into Practice
Before I became an academic, I worked in learning and development in the energy industry. I understand the theory and the practice of learning and development in business. This is why my latest book on the learning and development is called Human Resource Development: From Theory into Practice.
Human Resource Development: From Theory into Practice captures the best part of a decade of practical experience as a manger and more than two decades of teaching and researching learning and development as an academic.
I've published numerous articles on learning and development in academic journals.
