Our institutional members are long-lived, innovative organizations that choose to enhance their own sustainability and their corporate citizenship by implementing organizational learning methodologies and engaging in cross-organizational projects. Working through SoL, they have generated new theories, processes and tools while achieving inspired results and improving overall organizational performance.
Organizational members may include commercial corporations, government agencies, profit or non-profit institutions who agree to be bound by and act in accordance with SoL's purpose and principles, and be bound by its Constitution and Articles of Organization. Organizational members must be willing and able to implement and practice the theories, methods, and practices of SoL and participate in their development.
Organizational members are expected to understand the contributive as well as transactional aspects of the relationship including a willingness to document and share learning from their involvement in SoL learning initiatives. In addition, organizational members are invited to designate two liaison officers to represent them at quarterly meetings for the purpose of bringing into their organizations new methods and practices.
Organizational Member Benefits:
- participating in a dynamic consortium of world class companies and public bodies collaboratively creating best practices in the area of organizational learning for sustained competitive advantage
- developing internal capacity in the form of individuals and groups with competence in basic learning disciplines including systems thinking, working with mental models, dialogue, personal mastery, and others being developed by SoL's members

Consulting and Programs
SoL is broadening its outreach to organizational members with a new focus on its learning-based consulting services and project work. Aimed at accelerating SoL's knowledge-creation mission while providing additional value to members, projects are co-designed and tailored to meet specific organizational goals.
Most SoL projects in the past have been cross-organizational; this new work will largely engage individual organizations but include a shared learning component. In response to requests from non-members impressed with SoL's unique applied learning approach, projects are also being planned with organizations who are interested in an ongoing relationship with SoL, but have not yet formally joined.
