This space brings you "The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization" as per by Dr Peter Senge in his book "The
Fifth Discipline"!
"two percent of the work". The other 98 percent, Deming believed involved fundamental shifts of management in ways
all are engaged and recognised. Moving from setting goals and driving people toward achieving them to focusing on
the continual improvement of "the systems (interdependencies)" that govern "how the organization works" and in doing
so inspiring the joys of learning, dignity, self-respect and intrinsic motivation. When we understand the ways of nature
we recognize that it does not quantify (unlike most concepts of management). Instead it cultivates a deeper
appreciation of pattern of and awareness of diversity. This runs awry with prevailing systems of management that
fosters, measures, incent and drive standards throughout the system. This experience starts for us as toddlers and
lives through the school and work systems that embodies the industrial age in our systems of management. Deming
adds "this has destroyed our people".
The central message of The Fifth Discipline is namely that our organizations work as fragmented as they are,
ultimately because of how we think and interact. A system on the other hand is a pattern of interdependency that we
enact, created every minute through our thinking and actions. By becoming aware of how we think, we can transform
the systemic nature of organizations and change deeply embedded policies and practices. By changing how we
interact we can establish shared visions, shared understandings and new capacities for coordinated action.
world, not in our inner world. The shift is we must also redesign the structures of our "mental models" that systemically
traverse both our outer and inner worlds. A shift that is lost to a world reinforced by measures and individualism.
that is deeply personal (sees the trees / detailed complexity) and deeply systemic (sees the forest / dynamic
complexity) at the same time.
