Flush Doors to the 80's: A Case Study of Action Learning

Abstract

Action Learning programmes have played a large part in helping an ailing building-components company to face up, finally, to a rapidly-changed environ ment. It may still not be out of all danger but it has a much firmer base for survival. Here, Bill Precious traces the story from 1979 when he delayed his retirement from the parent Bowater company to take over as managing director, and then stayed on to introduce and steer through the programmes.
