(Geary Rummler, partner, The Rummler-Brache Group) Instructional designers, training managers and performance improvement specialists will benefit from this book. It could also be used as a text book in instructional design. Any training department that is moving from training to performance should have this book. (Roger Addison, vice president and manager, Wells Fargo Bank) The book is meant to guide and lead to application?.
