"In a learning organization, how do you go about measuring organizational learning?
Or is the learning organization just a myth or a brand?
I would like to get feedback from you all. Thanks!"
 
  Learning Organisation Just a Myth?
David McAra, Scotland
"There are organisations that demonstrate some of the characteristics, but they are few. In most organisations I know, the management team lacks the necessary listening skills and its members have too much faith in their own perception of what's happening and what's required...
It is a wonderful concept though, thrilling to be a part of, if only briefly."
 
  Measuring Organizational Learning - not a Myth
Jeff Wilkinson, USA
"There is a method derived by Janet Gould-Wilkinson who is at MIT - Sloan School Cambridge, Massachusetts USA, called a "Learning Inventory". She is a pioneer in the field and has worked with Fortune 100 companies doing this kind of measurement."

  Measuring Learning in a Learning Organization
Marion Hofer, Austria
"To act as a learning organization is essential for each company today because it helps the company to act vivid. You know that your company acts like that if you find job enrichment in your daily work, more responsibility, more fun - you can measure it in your motivation to work for a company."
