The size and weight of this book caused me to think twice because the combination of those features often suggest more than a fair amount of techno speak,often more satisfying for the writer than the reader. The weight of this book is pure muscle, written for the user...clear, understandable and comprehensive. If you are interested in global organizational performance, I found the treatment of the subject very useful and well done. As it turns out, the weight of the book has a complimentary benefit i.e. eliminating at least one trip to the gym, I can now build both strength and knowledge without having to take a gym shower. It may not be a benefit for everyone, but the Handbook for HTP will provide value for those who are serious about this subject....

We humans are most important. Not only to ourselves, but increasingly to economy. More and more humans become alive within the business they work in. And businesses become more and more knowledge critical, which enhances the importance of humans and their performance. This means that addressing issues on human performance becomes increasingly complex and daunting. Hence: Human Performance Technology. This handbook is both scientific and realistic. It takes the need for metrics as much into account as the 'softer' aspects. It approaches HP from a General Systems Theory approach and does is coherent. Everyone that wants to know where we stand, where we are going, will love it for its scientific and academic value alone. But those who want to put HPT in practice at strategical, tactical and/or oprational level will both love and need it. If you are serious about HP you will find this handbook is worth every cent.
