THE NEEDS AND OUTCOME OF
A LEARNING ORGANIZATION
The overall advantage for a business is the possibility to discover what it is,
where it wants to go, and to define the quality of life it wishes to pursue.
Organizational learning helps to avoid a decline because mistakes are
recognized in the early stage and avoided in the future
Improved quality, innovations, a better understanding of the business itself,
and the increased ability to manage changes are further important outcomes
of a learning structure
It values the scientific method of hypothesis development, testing, and
validation, as well as the personal development
Learning helps to find a different way of viewing the process of conducting
activity in a business environment and of achieving change within that
environment.
The working conditions and the work environment will be improved through
the concept of organizational learning
SUMMARY AND
CONCLUSION
Organizational learning comprises five complex activities
which have to be managed effectively
Still, many organizations fail to implement this
management structure even though it has been proven to
be a very successful tool to keep up with the changing,
competitive environment.
Learning organizations are not built overnight.
Training in brainstorming, problem solving, evaluating
experiments, open environment, sharing ideas, open up
boundaries, creating learning forums and so on, are just a
few learning skills which are essential.
