This course conveys the essence of SoL's mission by teaching new perspectives for individual and collective learning. It was first presented in March 1992, in conjunction with the MIT Center for Organizational Learning, and has since been attended by more than 2,000 managers and individuals from member and non-member companies.
Anticipated Learning
After attending the course, you will have an understanding of the core competencies required for building learning organizations and you will have the experience of participating in a learning community. You will have an enhanced ability to think systemically, communicate effectively, and lead honorably. You will be asked to clarify personal and professional visions, and then use those personal visions to create a shared vision that can guide an organization on its path to becoming a learning organization.
Audience
This course is designed as an intensive and comprehensive hands-on introduction to the concepts, methods and tools for building learning organizations. It is designed for teams interested in working together to apply organizational learning tools and methods to practical issues in the context of their organization. Participants need to be genuinely interested in attending, be open to a different experience, and be in positions to support further work in their organizations.
Detailed Course Description
This is not a typical management training course. This program emphasizes that knowledge is really the capacity for action and that learning is the development of that capacity. Although it will introduce you to new tools and methods, it is not primarily focused on tools and methods. It is based on a simple premise: that there is no better way to learn about learning organizations and how they can be brought about than to create such an organization. We endeavor to do so, insofar as that is possible in five days. The course invites you to think about your own aspirations, both in and out of the workplace. It focuses on the principles, concepts, methods and tools of organizational learning, and how to apply them in an organizational and personal context. This requires individuals with some first-hand knowledge in the "learning disciplines" of a learning organization.
