"What a wonderful volume on case studies Jean Barbazette has created!  Practical, filled with a rich variety of examples and excellent guidance on how to create, facilitate and debrief cases.  I not only enjoyed reading the book, I am already putting it to use."

"Case Study Method is a proven, effective workplace learning strategy.  Jean Barbazette has created a rich volume that makes the design and use of case studies readily available to us all.  I love the variety of examples, as well as the facilitation guidance."

"Interactive teaching-learning works. Jean Barbazette has  created a wonderful, easy-to-apply volume that allows us to broaden our training repertoire instantly. What a rich source for  developing and running cases."

"You 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."

Dana Gaines Robinson, coauthor, Performance Consulting  

"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."
