The Learning Organization

Peter Senge began to explore the Learning Organization, his definition of this is whereby people nurture their capacity continually and expands to derive on the desired expected results. New nature of thinking patterns are growing. Senge top book - "The Fifth Discipline" derived the concept of systemic thinking approach, where both the body of theory and practice is coherent. 

In order for a system theory is exist and comprehend to address the whole situation, three elements must be present to examine the interrelationship of the parts. Firstly, the system looks into the whole connection which allows looking beyond and detecting actions of impact. Subsequently, a holistic understanding can be attained. 

Secondly, on previous experience, Senge found much of the coherency was driven by management applying simple frameworks to complex and complicated matter's. The frameworks used and the lack of feedback loop for reiteration at the lower end, led to inconsistency and failure mechanisms in organizations. Consequently, dynamic process that allows interchangeable of appreciation flows are required in order to effective appropriate action undertaken. 

The third final aspect, comprised of the need to realize the potential significance of feedback being drawn back into an organization. This feedback is oriented back into the viewpoint towards developing a long term perspective for the organization, failure to do so, results in consequential problems further down the line.  

Drawing from the past sections, the behavior of feedback (communication) has been emphasized in the three areas, inherently reflecting from the probable of objects post, the process comprises of people to drive the understanding the doubtfulness of beliefs and assumptions. The learning organization is a way for management to understand and introduce how things could be within an organization.
