Book Description

This book points up a significant area that has been, and is being, overlooked - education. This book describes a set of innovative management tools that will help organizations and their 'walkabout' decision makers cope with the new workplace environment of corporate amnesia alongside individuals' short, selective and defensive memory. It outlines a 'how-to' plan to overcome the corporate equivalent of Alzheimer's, which will also be around when economic conditions improve.
