Learning organization

| | Totto's first process rule - It is fine to make mistakes, but it is not fine to not learn (from them) |

What is a learning organization?

"A Learning Organization is one in which people at all levels, individuals and collectively, are continually increasing their capacity to produce results they really care about."

Why is it important to build a learning organization?

  • Create a common respect for your co-workers strengths.
  • Be humble for the fact that the team can achieve more than the sum of each team members effort.
  • Reduce the unwanted effect of co-workers putting their personal goals before the goals of the project.
  • Support the co-workers to help them become better.
  • Build a respect for the fact that decisions must be made. Often a single person must make the decision, consensus is a ineffective approach to making decisions.

"Creating a learning organization will be the 3rd most important personnel-challenge in the next years"
