Investing in People focuses on contemporary issues in training and development from a strategic point of view. In particular, the author predicts the impact of competence-based and self-managed learning programmes, and discusses the implications of other national initiatives such as Investors in People.

development with an up-to-date account of the many training initiatives that could have a strategic impact on organizations. In addition, the author develops a framework within which organizations can integrate and use these initiatives to move from individual competence to corporate capability. Of particular interest to training and HRM managers, senior executives and students studying human resource management (especially at MBA/DMS level).
