Trending
Principle:
Five learning disciplines to achieve the learning organisation
Issues:
Personal mastery
- Self-awareness and sensitivity to strengths and weaknesses in consciously applying the principles and values most important for achieving personal goals. These are qualities that today might be described as emotional intelligence
Mental Models
- The judgement and perceptions from past experiences that influence what we hear and say, as well as how we react to others
Building shared visions
- Using the collective capability of a team or an organisation to create and realise a vision in which the sum of the whole is greater than the parts
Team learning
- Applying this to the first three disciplines allows people who work well together to learn and accomplish more than they could by themselves
Systems thinking
- Looking at all the organisation not as a set of isolated functions or tasks but as interdependent parts, each of which influences the performance of the whole
Applications:
To enhance an organisations creative capabilities
