The T-M Book Club is all about knowledge sharing and personal development. By reading and discussing books together, members can grow both personally and professionally.

The featured book on the menu is “Return on Learning” by the one and only Rob Adams. Below a short summary of this thought provoking book:

As a company, how do you achieve relevant renewal and innovation? This book offers an inspiring and no-nonsense approach to grasp the uncertainties of the future. This way, you will understand what is important for your organization, deploy the right competencies, and make better decisions.

Governments and companies are grappling with major future issues. They must adapt to the rapidly and continuously changing environment. Adaptive capacity is crucial in the times we live in.

It is impossible to see into the future. The future begins with not knowing. This not only makes you uncertain but also causes delays or the avoidance of decisions, or decisions made based on insufficient information.

Return on Learning (ROL) builds the ability to think and act from a long-term perspective. It provides insight into backgrounds, assumptions, and possible opportunities for innovation. ROL drives the achievement of high learning curves in areas that are essential for the future. This is in contrast to Return on Investment (ROI), which reinforces short-term thinking and action.
