Assignment 1: Identifying the Organizational Learning Issues
Suppose that your organization, or an organization with which
you are familiar, is dealing with a major issue in transitioning
individual learning (e.g., sharing knowledge, training programs,
working as a team, experiences, procedures, processes, etc.)
into organizational learning. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
has asked you, as the Vice President of Human Resources, to
assist with the issue and to help the organization transition its
culture to this new way of learning. Before you provide any
recommendations to address the issue, you must first research
the root of the problem and the resistance to this transition.
Note:
You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions
needed for the completion of this assignment. In your original
work, you may use aspects of existing processes from either

2. your current or a former place of employment. However, you
must remove any and all identifying information that would
enable someone to discern the organization[s] that you have
used.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Assess the organization’s culture as it relates to shared
knowledge, then specify the significant issue(s) that you
discovered with the culture. Determine the disconnect you
observed between the culture and organizational learning using
three (3) of the five (5) mystifications. Support your response
with at least one (1) example of each selected mystification
within the organization.
Give your opinion on the current Organizational Learning
Mechanism(s) (OLMs) that hinder organizational learning.
Support your response with one (1) example of a training or
learning initiative (e.g., sharing knowledge, training programs,
working as a team, experiences, procedures, processes, etc.) and
the outcome when it was applied to the organization.
Determine which one (1) of the following OLMs is suitable for
replacing the identified OLM(s) that hinder organizational
learning as a corrective action to facilitate the transition from
individual to organizational learning: Off-line/Internal, On-
line/Internal, Off-line/External or On-line/External. Justify your
selection.
Evaluate the norms of the organization’s learning culture to
determine the source(s) that currently prevent productive
learning by applying two (2) of the following norms: inquiry,
issue orientation, transparency, integrity or accountability.
Provide at least one (1) example of each of the selected norms’
manifestation within the organization in your evaluation.
Use at least five (5) quality academic references in this
assignment.
