its about learn9ng organisationTRANSCRIPT
At the end of this session you will be able to:
Define the Learning Organisation Explain the advantages and disadvantages
of the Learning Organisation concept Evaluate the use of coaching in developing
a Learning Organisation
Organisational learning happens anyway
Learning organisation is one that manages its own learning processes to its advantage
“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?’
Hughes, M., (1995, March), Propagating the Learning Organization, Financial Training Review
An organisation which facilitates the learning of all its members and continuously transforms itself as a whole
Pedler, M., Burgoyne. & Boydell, T., (1991), The Learning Company, McGraw Hill
Organisations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, when new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free and where people are continually learning how to learn together
Senge, P., The Fifth Discipline, Centuary
A Learning Organisation harnesses the full brainpower, knowledge and experience available to it, in order to evolve continually for the benefit of its stakeholders
Mayo, A., & Lank, E. (1995, 16 November), Changing the Soil Spurs New Growth, Personnel Management
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
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!
