Is your organization a “learning organization”?
“An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage”— Jack Welch

In 1997, Harvard Business Review named the “learning organization” as one of the seminal business ideas of the prior 75 years and to me it seems even more relevant as we face the next decade!

What organizations have been successful in transforming themselves into learning organization’s?

Microsoft is on a cultural journey right now from being a company of “know it all’s” to a company of “learn it all’s”

When I started out in organizational development (OD) Peter Senge’s work was instrumental in shaping my thinking and his book was one of the big OD book’s of the decade.

What disciplines of a learning organization are still as relevant today as they were 20 years ago?
