“Learning Organization”
is NOT a Vague Concept:
A learning organization opens itself to acquire, develop, and distribute knowledge rapidly so that everyone may have access to the newest and best ideas, practices, and products.
It examines its own processes systematically and frequently to improve them.
Driving Change, 1998, Jerry Wind and Jeremy Main
