"Robin's work constantly asks you to challenge your preconceptions of what good training should be about. He excels in questioning the attitudes of the status quo and accepted thinking that has allowed much of L&D to lack the innovation it needs. 'Complete Training: From recruitment to retirement' is no exception and is highly recommended reading for everyone in the industry."
