From ideas to actions: creating a learning organization

Article Abstract:

A learning organization is one that constantly improves through the rapid development and enhancement of capabilities required for success in the future. Companies attempting to become continual learners should go beyond simply training and developing employees. Learning should be incorporated into every activity of the organization to provide the best products to its customers. The typical learning organization has five elements: a leader with a well-defined vision, a detailed and quantifiable action plan, the quick distribution of information, inventiveness, and the ability to implement the plan. Examples of companies that can be considered learning organizations include Corning Inc., Analog Devices Inc., Boeing Co. and Lear Seating Corp. A Learning Organization Quiz that can be used to ascertain whether a company is a learning organization is provided.
