Dove, Lipton, Knorr, Ben &amp; Jerry's, and Slim*Fast are a few of the brands that are part of the $66 billion global empire known as Unilever.

Since Peter Senge published his groundbreaking book The Fifth Discipline, he and his associates have frequently been asked by the business community: "How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change?"  They know that companies and organizations cannot thrive today without learning to adapt their attitudes and practices.  But companies that establish change initiatives discover, after initial success, that even the most promising efforts to transform or revitalize organizations can fail to sustain themselves over time.  That's because organizations have complex, well-developed immune systems, aimed at preserving the status quo.Now, drawing upon new theories about leadership and the long-term success change initiatives, and based upon twenty-five years of experience building learning organizations, the authors of The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook show how to accelerate success and avoid the obstacles that can stall momentum.  The Dance of Change, written managers and executives at every level of an organization, reveals how business leaders can work together to anticipate the challenges that profound change will ultimately force the organization to face. Filled with in-depth accounts of sustaining learning initiatives by managers and leaders in the field, and well-tested practical advice, The Dance of Change provides an insider's perspective on implementing learning and change initiatives at such corporations as Ford Motor Company, General Electric and Shell Oil.  It offers crucial advice for those who are struggling to put change initiatives into practice.

El cambio basado en el aprendizaje: realidades sobre la transformación corporativa es la narración de un cambio corporativo trascendental que emprendió OilCo, seudónimo de una compañía petrolera internacional muy importante, poco después de una época de despidos generalizados y recortes presupuestales. La gente clave dentro de la compañía relata la historia usando una técnica creada en el Center for Organizational Learning del Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Ciento cincuenta empleados de todos los niveles de la compañía fueron entrevistados, desde los trabajadores que prestan servicios por hora hasta los integrantes del Consejo Ejecutivo. Ellos trabajaron en las principales divisiones de negocios de OILCo: exploración y producción, refinación y comercio al detalle, petroquímica y consultoría. Durante este periodo todos los valores de la compañía se pusieron en tela de juicio, incluidas sus prcaticas comerciales, estructura corporativa de gobierno, administración por equipos y estilo de liderazgo. El cambio basado en el aprendizaje: realidades sobre la transformación corporativa brinda a los estudiantes una mirada interna a lo que OilCo aprendió colectivamente. También muestra lo que los empleados aprendieron en lo individual a medida que trabajaban en un ambiente a menudo turbulento.
