Turning an Organization into a Learning Organization

	          		I have worked on changing people's thinking. But, in organizational context, the turning point for converting a conventional style organization into a learning style is a subject of research for me. I have not tried 5 discipline yet. I will try it and share the experience.

				                Organisational Change Towards Learning Organization

													Changing members' thinking in an organisation usually involves the consultant being the midwife (Ed: A person, usually a woman, who is trained to assist women in childbirth). The organisation is finding it difficult to let go of the old habits and the members will return to the status quo since it offered comfort and security.

Real organisational change occurs when the members have grasped the learning and are willing to take risks with what they know through developing conversations internally and externally leading to actions within the external environment that validate the new way of doing.
