PIMA Recommends

Joseph Konkel, PIMA President recommends:

The Fifth Discipline:  The Art & Practice of the Learning Organization by Peter Senge

“Over the years this book has left a lasting impression on me especially in the way I think about the issues we face within our organization.  To resolve them ore even to know where to begin we have to think about the systems that are the true cause of issues, and how to find the “deect” in the system and then work to eliminate it.  This book shows a thought process for understanding why organizations and individuals do what they do.”
