"To Change the Way We Do Things Is More Important Than the Certificate on the Wall": Does Investors in People Represent an Effective Intervention Strategy for Organisational Learning?

Berry, Carolyn; Grieves, Jim

Learning Organization, v10 n5 p294-304 2003

Results of this and other studies suggest that it is unclear how effective IiP is for improving business performance or enhancing change management. (Contains 24 references.) (SK)
