‘Watkins and Marsick, along with their various collaborators, provide in their most recent and prescient text, a blueprint for understanding critical learning challenges in today’s workplace. We cannot simply presume the learning challenges they discuss will occur, the challenges are here upon us now, and much depends on them being addressed. The authors wisely make use of their past extensive writings on workplace learning as a basis for showing the way forward now. An important contribution to the workplace learning and development literature.’
