 LO
LO is an organization that continually improves by

readily creating and refining the capabilities

needed for success. (Wick)

"an organization which facilitates the learning of all

its members and continuously transforms itself.

(Pedler M., Boydell T. and Burgoyne J., 1989)

LO is one that is continually expanding its capacity to

create its future. (Senge)

the ability to learn becomes critical
Learning is
the ability to assimilate new ideas from others and
from past experience and to translate those ideas
into action faster than a competitor can.

Why Learning Organization?

Preparing for the Future

Tomorrows successful companies

Overturn strategic inertia and business-as-usual thinking
Avoiding complacency
Finding new, scarce sources of value

Success and Failure exist together

There are winners because there

is uncertainty;
without uncertainty,
there can be no winner.

Therefore, instead of seeing

uncertainty as a problem,
we should start viewing it as the
basic source of our future
success.

Winning the game requires much

more: additional, distinctive
factors and capabilities that will
distinguish the winner from the
losers..

Additional, distinctive
factors and capabilities that
are not yet generally codified
and available only to one
organization =

Business Idea

The Business Idea (BI)

success formula in the competitive game

A BI must be capable of explaining how value will be created

for stakeholders of the organization.

An organization that wants to be able to meet a scarcity in

society must have something unique to offer.

Once an org. makes a unique contribution and creates value,

it can charge a price for its efforts and in that way generate
resources to invest in its survival.

To create Business idea

Assess the drivers both of organizational

success and failure

Highlight the factors
that may make them end up on the losing
side,
that are critical to achieving success.
