WHAT I UNDERSTAND BY “LEARNING ORGANISATION” ? By “Learning Organisation”, I understand an organisation which use learning, which encourage it. A place where people would share knowledge and evolute in a way of listening and discovert from others.
Why a learning organisation? At first, because it's 'in touch' with a fundamental part of our humanity -- to learn, to improve our environment, to be active actors, not passive recipients. Because sharing knowledge and ideas make peoples open-minded, ready to change, flexible and creative. Because its encouraging innovation, and innovation is a strong strength in a firm. Etc...
How ? Organisations must be aware that learning is necessary before they can develop into a Learning Organisation Encourage openness, reflectivity and accept error and uncertainty Manage time to share ideas and knowledge Organise seminars, trainings, using new technology Etc...
An example of learning organisation : Proctor and Gamble In1998 Proctor and Gamble (P&G) launched Organisation 2005, its most ambitious corporate transformation ever in spite of making profits in 1997. Organisation 2005 began with a simple question : “Are we achieving all that we should be, given the calibre of our organisation?” The answer was “no”! The fact : P&G’s sales growths over the past few years ahs averaged only abour 4% - against their targeted goal.
An example of a “learning organisation” :Proctor and Gamble A study, chartered by P&G's senior leaders focused on global trends external to P&G, P&G's internal strengths and improvement areas Several benchmarking and learning measures including visits to other companies, educational and research institutes as well as interviews with P&G employees at all levels. Company’s senior executives visited other global companies to understand how they operate and how they enable their employees to perform at their best.
An example of an learning organisation : Proctor and Gamble They, then, decide to turn their firm into a “leraning Organisation” The result : the change to learning organisation has impacted almost all of its 100,000 employees.Overall, they expecting the Organisation 2005 programme to increase long-term sales by 6-8% and accelerate core net earnings per share growth by 13-15% in the next five years. They also expect to generate annual after-tax earnings of approximately $900 million by Fiscal 2004. They were able to achieve an after tax savings earning of $385 millions in 1999
To conclude ... ...there is no perfect Learning Organisation...every organisation has something to learn and something to share!
