Details

Designing, delivering and evaluating learning and development is a key HR practice, especially for professionals in the field of Human Resource Development. As the global economy has changed and thus organisations with it, more learning is delivered at and through work, and individuals are encouraged to utilise the opportunities that advances in technology have brought, and take charge of their own learning.

Essential reading for the CIPD postgraduate unit: Designing, Delivering and Evaluating Learning and Development Provision, this text critically examines the contextual factors impacting upon these activities in organisations. With case studies from the public, private and voluntary sectors, as well as examples of international practice, the book helps to identify some of the challenges Learning and Development professionals will face in a range of environments.

Designing, Delivering and Evaluating L&D is suitable, not just for students working towards a CIPD Level 7 qualification, but also for those studying more general business and management degrees, as well as anyone who may have studied the subject previously, and wishes to engage in continuous professional development.
