Learning Organization
Central Michigan University
An organization that lives by the philosophy of effective learning, exhibits the ability to ensure that all employees are learning and utilizing all tools that can help them learn even more. I will go into further detail regarding the characteristics of a learning organization, the most effective organizational theory in my opinion and the potential limitations to my theory.
When it comes to an organization that focuses on effective learning, training is one of the most important aspects to the organizations success. It is imperative to ensure that all employees are receiving the proper amount of training that will enable them to have a better handle on their job. An organization that lacks training can lead to employees not growing or expanding their knowledge. The expansion of individual’s knowledge is critical for the reason that we live in an ever changing world. The training is needed in order to keep a completive advantage. For example, in an organization such as a cell phone company, all employees must be learning on a continuous basis. This is because of the constant changes and needs of consumers. Consumers are constantly looking for new features and new phone capabilities. This means that all employees must be properly trained in order to produce market and sell these products. This starts all the way from the top. Corporate must be trained well enough to know what consumers are looking for, and marketing must be trained well enough to know how to get the product in consumers faces and the retail agents must be trained well enough to share all of the features with potential customers. Effective learning can be compared to a domino effect. The learning process can just come from one force. Management must pass new knowledge down to their subordinates and if the subordinates have valuable information they must relay it to management. This will in return create synergy. Apple is an excellent example
