Special Series on Tools, Techniques, and Technologies for Promoting Organizational Learning

Peter Senge (1990) and others working at the MIT Center for Organizational Learning have provided insight on the foundational components of a “learning” organization. They have defined organizational learning as occurring when members have a shared vision and work together to achieve common goals in order to produce results that are important to them. In today’s technologically complex world, organizational learning offers a means of adaptation, survival, and long-term growth. (The MIT Center for Organizational Learning has published numerous articles on the concepts proposed in Senge's (1990) The Fifth Discipline.
