THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE FIELDBOOK

STRATEGIES AND TOOLS FOR BUILDING A LEARNING ORGANISATION

Peter Senge, Art Kleiner, Charlotte Roberts, Richard Ross & Bryan Smith

"The Fieldbook will become the most referenced, quoted and used business book of the 1990s. If you can afford only one book to help you achieve organizational change, this is the book."
Herb Rau, Total Quality Manager, National Semiconductor

"Written for browsing and provides useable suggestions on almost every page. It complements Senge's earlier, more theoretical work, with much more practical experience."
Tim Simpson, Managing Director, Arthur D Little

Peter Senge's international bestseller, The Fifth Discipline, revolutionized the practice of management by introducing the theory of learning organizations. Now Dr. Senge moves from the philosophical to the practical by answering the first question all lovers of the learning organization ask: What do they do on Monday morning?

The Fieldbook is an intensely pragmatic guide. It shows how to create an organization of learners where memories are brought to life, where collaboration is the life-blood of every endeavour, and where tough questions are fearlessly asked. The stories in this book show that businesses, schools, agencies and even communities can undo their 'learning disabilities' and achieve superior performance. If ever a book gave meaning to the phrase 'hands-on', this is it.

Peter Senge is the Director of the Center for Organizational Learning at MIT's Sloan School of Management, and a founding partner of Innovation Associates in Boston. Together with Art Kleiner, Charlotte Roberts, Bryan Smith and Richard Ross he is also the co-author of The Dance of Change and - with Art Kleiner - of Schools that Learn. Art Kleiner is also the author of Who Really Matters.
