The Learning Organization

Today, every corporation needs to be a learning organization, capable of developing new intellectual property. For this to happen, five components must be in place:
1. Everyone must understand big-picture systems thinking.
2. Everyone must be committed to lifetime learning.
3. People must get good at developing mental models.
4. The business leaders must build a shared visioin.
5. There must be a commitment to team learning.
