Learning Organisation

The parable of the learning flock of sheep

In my lectures on knowledge management, I have always enjoyed using the story of the learning flock of sheep – based on David Hutchens‘ story Outlearning the Wolves – to develop the characteristics of a learning organisation together with my students. Now my daughter Pauline has made a video out of it – without any AI, which I think makes it all the more beautiful.

A German version is also available.

simply explained: Learning Organisation

In what is now the eighth episode of my short series on basic terms and concepts in knowledge management, I take a look at the so-called learning organisation: How does organisational learning differ from individual and collective learning? How does organisational learning manifest itself? What do single-loop, double-loop and deutero learning have to do with it? What are the five disciplines of the learning organisation according to Senge? And finally, what is absorptive and dissemination capacity all about?

Enjoy! (Duration 4’47 min.)
