| Abstract: | The efforts of the owner/directors of a private limited company to put into place a succession strategy are described. Three major themes are considered: 1. second generation entrepreneurs/management succession; 2. action learning as a human resource development strategy; and 3. the learning organization. The main conclusion drawn is that people (and organizations) learn best from the priorities of the business, once they have been identified, and that organizational learning is really based on institutionalization of what has been learned - requisite learning. Action projects on logistics, technology futures and customer orientation are described and exemplified. |
