Course Description

It is one thing for organization leaders to say they want to be a learning organization, and quite another to build, nurture, and sustain organizational learning practices. In this course, we will explore several dimensions of what it means to be a learning organization, as well as the culture, structures, systems, processes, and practices needed to support organizational learning. We will also consider how to assess an organization’s current state of readiness for being a learning organization—one that uses data and experiences to inform its thinking and practice.
