TRIPLE III TIME: Growing As A LEARNING Organization

One of the most important continuing evolutionary factors in today’s workplace world is the challenge of innovatively Growing As A LEARNING Organization!

“Organizational learning is the process by which an organization improve itself through gaining experience and using that experience to create knowledge. The knowledge created is then transferred within the organization. This type of learning benefits both individuals, teams and the organization as a whole. There are also positive intra-organizational benefits to this approach.”  (2025 Valanis Group)

So given this definition… let’s ask this important TRIPLE III TIME question: do you lead your group as a LEARNING organization and/or do you belong to a LEARNING organization??

In so many situations… individual learning no matter how effective… does not guarantee organizational learning.  Even when many individuals in a company are being trained well and continually…. the company as a whole doesn’t really get the greater value.  Employee networking, communicating, teaming and blending critical thinking are sometimes given only a “second thought” priority and unfortunately lessens the benefit of Growing As A LEARNING Organization.   In order to proactively respond to an always changing personal and workplace environment, more emphasis needs to be placed on cooperative thinking and experimenting with futuristic options for greater product and/or service development.

Growing As A LEARNING Organization requires an inclusive style of management and an open, progressive communication process that engages all in tryout innovativity.  Strict routines, uniform skill-sets and only “one-right-way” of operation/production… no longer fits in our fast-paced, higher-tech world of work and tomorrow’s jobs in both the public and private sectors.
