  1. Learning Organisation + Knowledge Management

  2. What is a Learning Organisation? The concept of Learning Organisation is increasingly relevant given the increasing complexity and uncertainty of the organisationalenvironment.

  3. What is a Learning Organisation? As Senge (990) remarks: "The rate at which organisations learn may become the only sustainable source of competitive advantage.”

  4. Organisational Learning vs. Learning Organisation? Ang & Joseph (1996) contrast Organisational Learning and Learning Organisation in terms of process versus structure.

  5. What is Adaptive Learning vs. Generative Learning? The current view of organisations is based on adaptive learning, which is about coping. Senge (1990) notes that increasing adaptiveness is only the first stage; companies need to focus on Generative Learning or "double-loop learning" Generative learning, unlike adaptive learning, requires new ways of looking at the world.

  6. What's the Managers' Role in the Learning Organisation? Senge (1990) argues that the leader's role in the Learning Organisation is that of a designer, teacher, and steward who can build shared vision and challenge prevailing mental models. He/she is responsible for building organisations where people are continually expanding their capabilities to shape their future - that is, leaders are responsible for learning.

  7. What's the Relationship between Strategy and Organisational Learning? As Mintzberg (1987) says: the key is not getting the right strategy but fostering strategic thinking. Or as Shell has leveraged the concept of Learning Organisation in its credo "planning as learning" (de Geus 1988).

  8. What's the Relationship between Strategy and Organisational Learning? Faced with dramatic changes and unpredictability in the world oil markets, Shell's planners realized a shift of their basic task: "We no longer saw our task as producing a documented view of the future business environment five or ten years ahead.

  9. What's the Relationship between Strategy and Organisational Learning? Our real target was the microcosm (the 'mental model') of our decision makers." The key ingredient of the Learning Organisation is in how organisations process their managerial experiences.

  10. What is the Role of Information Systems in the Learning Organisation? Huber (1991) explicitly specifies the role of IS in the Learning Organisation as primarily serving Organisational Memory …

  11. What is the Role of Information Systems in the Learning Organisation? … in my view, IS can serve the other three processes • Knowledge Acquisition, • Information Distribution, and • Information Interpretation.
