can't get more practical than this book! It is filled with how-to's,
templates, checklists, and actual cases which can be used,
as is, in your own training programs. This book is the 'one-stop
shop' for creating and using case studies."

"At long last, the case study, the
ultimate learning methodology, is expertly explained and dissected by the
author in a (successful!) attempt to make it more accessible to the
trainer!"
“Harvard Case Study writers…watch
out!
She knows how to make it (look) seamless and simple.”
“Jean knows how to teach not only the
‘how’ of good case study writing, but the important ‘why’ as well.
She helps readers get around the barriers to effectiveness.
“I’ll bet there are others (like me)
who avoid writing case studies because the job just seems so difficult.
Jean provides the guidebook that I wish I had earlier in my
career.”
“Jean holds your hand as she walks you
through the art and science of case study design and development.
And she does it simply and elegantly.”
"Chock-full
of great examples, important cautions, and wonderful
lessons of experience, Jean helps her readers not only
write better case studies, but also understand their use as a critical
learning tool."

yet enhance your creativity as a case study writer. No serious
trainer can be without it."
