Building Learning Organizations Paper Guidelines
Prepare and submit through Turnitin, an 8 - 10 page paper that
discusses strategies to build a learning
organization in a specific team or department. The paper
consists of two parts
1. As a case analysis, identify a challenge a specific
organization that is not a learning organization
faces; diagnose the issue by describing the impact of one or
more system archetypes, and one or
more learning disabilities
2. Recommend a plan to build a learning organization in the
specific organization described in the
case analysis by applying each of Senge’s five disciplines
The final paper must adhere to APA standards and cite five or
more scholarly sources including three
peer-reviewed journal articles. In addition to the journal

2. articles, you may use your course textbooks and
additional scholarly sources as appropriate.
Part I: Case Analysis
Select an organization that is currently not a learning
organization in which one or more system
archetypes and learning disabilities are evident; the case
analysis works best when you select a team or
department with which you are familiar. For example, rather
than selecting the entire military, focus on
the specific unit where you are (or were) assigned.
Briefly describe the organization, identifying a specific problem
or challenge that exists. Diagnose the
problem by describing one or more system archetypes, and one
or more learning disabilities that impact
it. Your analysis must include theoretical definitions of the
selected system archetype and learning
disability as well as a description of how each affects the
problem or challenge in this organization (3 – 4
pages).
Part II: Recommendations and Action Plan
For the organization discussed in the Case Analysis, recommend
an action plan to transform it into a
learning organization. The action plan must include one or
more specific activities for each of the five
disciplines that could be utilized over time to create positive
change with the organization; these activities
may come from The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook or other
academic sources. For example, in preparing a
recommendation for systems thinking, begin by identifying
leverage point(s) for change for the system
archetype(s) discussed in the case analysis, and then discuss
strategies to address it (4 – 6 pages).
