SoL is an action learning community whose purpose is to discover,
integrate, and implement theories and practices of organizational learning for
the interdependent development of people and their institutions. In this context,
the Seventh Annual Meeting of SoL brought together a community of about 300
deeply committed practitioners, consultants, researchers, and others from around
the world to achieve together that which we cannot achieve on our own: increasing
our capacity to collectively realize our highest aspirations.
"Leading in Action" offered an engaging and reflective meeting
environment in which new knowledge emerged to generate fundamental institutional
and societal innovation. We explored how we can lead consciously in the midst
of everyday action to stay true to ourselves and create the results we really
care about.
The objectives of the Seventh Annual Meeting of SoL was influenced
by the SoL purpose and many conversations within and outside the SoL community.
Individually and collectively we aspire to:
Discover the value and potential of our interconnectedness
Integrate new theories and tools into our organizational and social realities
Implement meaningful action for results that matter.
In the design process for this meeting, structures and processes
emerged from the SoL community that allowed for community connection, applied
learning, and deep questions.
