 ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING |
| Ability of an organization to gain knowledge from experience through experimentation, observation, analysis and a willingness to examine both successes (good practices) and failures (lessons learned), and to use that knowledge to do things differently. Organizational learning occurs when an organization becomes collectively more knowledgeable and skillful in pursuing a set of goals. It involves individual learning, and the ability to think critically and creatively. It includes using organizational development as long term continuous improvement, using interdisciplinary approaches and modern technologies.
It involves five disciplines:
|
| Principles | Content |
|---|---|
| Building systems that output learning | Workplaces should actively modify their policies, structures, and procedures to support discovery |
| Sponsoring personal excellence | The learning organization should encourage good practices innovation and self-managed learning |
| Creating new mental models | Learning organizations have to question the assumptions and mindsets of their employees to ensure that openness and innovation are championed at the expense of secrecy and politics |
