Dear List,

My company is embarking on a "learning organization" project. We need a lot of ideas and suggestions on how to go about this. For your background information, this is an insurance company with conservative, doer rather thinker culture. The staff generally has poor attitude towards learning.

Regards,

Kng

Dear List,

My company is embarking on a "learning organization" project. We need a
lot of ideas and suggestions on how to go about this. For your background

Some resources: Ten Steps to a Learning Organization by Peter Kiline &
Bernard Saunders; and The Global Learning Organization by Michael Marquardt
and Angus Reynolds. Building a learning organization is a challenging
cultural shift, but lots of fun and potentially a high pay off. You need some
real commitment, as it does take time and energy, and a shift in thinking.

There is an internet discussion list devoted to just this one topic.
If you do a web search on Learning Organization, you will probably
find it.
