US Army: "The army's a learning organization. If we have some shortfalls,
we try to correct them. We've learned to do that process now".
One CEO makes a point of telling how close he is to the Executive
Leaders. He travels socially, golfs with them and shares a mutual
commitment to the future. (see Dance of Change, When Good People Do
Terrible Things, pg 254-260).

A Different View of Organizational Learning by Sue Gilly, February 21,
1997
Much of the organizational learning literature seems to be following in
the tradition of learning theories and taking a psychological or individual
perspective on the phenomenon. There is a debate about whether or not
organizations can learn and many just take the approach that
organizational learning is the sum total of the individual learning
occurring in the workplace (Argyris & Schon, 1996; Levitt & March, 1988;
Normann, 1985; Weick & Westley, 1996). What would happen if our
focus shifted to one that is more anthropological and, therefore, focused
on group learning?
Knowledge Management ... your first step to becoming a Learning
Organization.
Ed Cohen, Senior V-P for Leadership Development at Satyam "The
growth of additional services, such as executive coaching, is raising the
profile of corporate learning and its strategic effect on corporate culture. I’
m not saying that the learning organisation controls the culture, but we’
re a conduit to the leaders of the firm; they’re the ones who identify what
they want the culture to be, but we help institutionalise it”
