Read people's responses to: Why
a Learning Organization?
David Bohm address "Dialog
- A Proposal" and Comments on Dialogue
Why should organizations care? Because, the level of performance and improvement needed today requires learning, lots of learning. In most industries, in health care, and in most areas of government, there is no clear path to success, no clear path to follow.
What's in it for the people? Learning to do is enormously rewarding and personally satisfying. For those of us working in the field, the possibility of a win-win is part of the attraction. That is, the possibility of achieving extraordinary performance together with satisfaction and fulfillment for the individuals involved.
Are there any examples of Learning Organizations? No, the Learning Organization is an ideal, a vision. Various organizations or parts of organizations achieve this in varying degree. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Organizational Learning Center is a major locus of research and application. Several major US corporations are attracted to this concept and are investing to support organizational learning.
There is considerable cross-fertilization between the Learning Organization and Quality fields.
