3. Why Organizational Learning?
Even for the most successful organizations, future does not
guarantee success. Therefore the options are to continue to Learn,
Change and Grow or to become outdated and irrelevant over time. It
is not only for individuals to continue learning but also for the teams
and the organization.
4. Benefits of a learning culture
o Efficiency and Productivity gains
o Decreased employee turnover with enhanced employee satisfaction
o Raising the bar by creating a continuous improvement mindset
o Developing leaders at all levels that helps with succession planning
o Creating a culture of inquiry and knowledge sharing (vs. knowledge
hoarding)
o Enhanced ability for individuals and teams to embrace and adapt to
change.
5. Individual learning is the smallest
unit at which learning occurs. An
individual learns new skills or ideas,
and their productivity at work
increases as they gain expertise. The
individual can decide to share or not
to share their knowledge with the rest
of the group. If the individuals leave
the group and don't share their
knowledge before leaving, the group
loses this knowledge.
Group learning is the next largest
unit at which learning can occur.
Group learning is a process in which
a group takes action, gets feedback,
and uses this feedback to modify their
future action. Increased experience of
working together in a team promotes
better coordination, teamwork and
alignment. This ensures common
understanding, direction, sense of
purpose reduction in inefficiencies
and waste. Team output is greater
than the sum of individual output.
Organizational learning is the way
in which an organization creates and
organizes knowledge relating to their
functions and culture. Organizational
learning happens in all of the
organization's activities. The goal of
organizational learning is to
successfully adapt to changing
environments, to adjust under
uncertain conditions, and to increase
efficiency. Organizations that continue
to learn are better prepared to survive
and grow by being more responsive
to external challenges and
opportunities.
