Deep Learning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639345605)

With social, political, and economic forces necessitating quantum and constant change in individuals, businesses, and whole economies, methods of developing leaders now require equal revolution. Using a multidimensional case-study research design, Deep Learning explores the experiences of one company developing leaders' abilities using what is often referred to as "transformative learning." Building on existing qualitative research, the book provides process observation of a deep learning experience, using opinion-polling of subject matter experts, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation to ethnographically describe the practices and organizational supports this company used to successfully foster deep learning in its leaders. In analyzing this experience, the author identifies the foundational components for facilitating deep learning in organizations, provides a theoretical model articulating their interaction, and offers suggestions for the model's use as both a design and diagnostic tool.
