The result just one year later? A sustainable, positive culture transformation. The mechanism, called “Self-Directed Achievement”, is a consistent, agile, individualized approach to staff development in a climate of constant change. It champions the basic library principle of lifelong learning. It is achievable for every individual with any level of expertise. And its impact will ripple through your organization from the staff work room to public lounge areas.
