Pattern Making, Pattern Breaking: Using Past Experience and New Behaviour in Training, Education and Change Management

Traditionally, a considerable amount of training and adult education has been an instructional process. In recent years the training need has changed to a process that provides learners with patterns that enable them to adapt their behaviour to the more complex and changing business situations, they will now encounter. Pattern Making, Pattern Breaking describes an interactive, learner-centred process that values existing experience (old patterns) whilst creating real and demonstrable behavioural change (new patterns). The author draws on a wide range of well-established methodologies, practical examples, activities and suggestions. The result is a book that gives anyone involved in training, educating or developing adults the confidence and the knowledge to use engaging, challenging and interactive techniques to create powerful, memorable and transferable learning experiences.
