OL v LO
Organisational learning happens anyway
Learning organisation is one that manages its own learning processes to its advantage
Learning Organisation
“the learning company or organisation is not a defined end state. It is the journey, not the destination. As Carl Rogers put it ‘we are all in a process of becoming’. Hence, organisations that embrace learning commit to an ongoing process. It would be a contradiction in terms to say ‘We are now a learning organisation – we’ve got the plaque on the wall – what’s our next project?’
Why the Learning Organisation?
Learning is essential to provide rapid continuous change
The competitive advantage of learning quicker than competitors
Increasing the rate of change
Increase in creativity
Organisations success depends on engagement and learning at all levels of the organisation
Problems with the Learning Organisation
Implemented with speed and without careful consideration of the implications and objectives
Superficial implementation
Can be regarded as management fad
Considered as panacea for all the organisations ills
Either in time of crises or in an effort to be seen as progressive
Consideration not given to triple loop learning
Can be seen as quick fix which can be achieved by sending all managers on a short training course!
