DEFINITION:
The organisation that learns and encourages learning among its people. It promotes exchange of information between employees and hence creating a more knowledgeable workforce. This produces a very flexible organisation where people will accept and adapt to new ideas and changes through shared vision.
Simply we can say that “A learning organisation is one in which people at all levels, individuals and collectively, are continually increasing their capacity to produce results they really care about
NEED FOR LEARNING ORGANISATION
A company that performs badly is easily recognisable . The following question will answer that:
Do your employees seem unmotivated or uninterested in their work?
Does your workforce lack the skill and knowledge to adjust to new jobs?
Do you seem to be the only one to come up with all the ideas?
And does your workforce simply follow orders?
Do your teams argue constantly and lack real productivity?
Or lack communication between each other?
And when the "guru" is off do things get put on hold?
Are you always the last to hear about problems?
Or worst still the first to hear about customer complaints?
And do the same problems occur over and over?
