Description

What is the learning organisation?

The Learning Organisation can cause one major error: the Learning organisation becomes an end its own right, confusing an emergent property with a manageable cause.

Organisational learning is about how

• organisations select and encode routines
• organisation expands its repertoire of actions, and they focus on how knowledge is acquired and distributed
• shared interpretations of reality

When its members learn an organisation’s capability may be enhanced.
