5. LEARNING ORGANIZATION
A learning organization is the term given to a
company that facilitates the learning of its members
and continuously transforms itself.

pressures facing modern organizations and enables

7. Learning in organization
“A successful company is one that can learn effectively”
- Arie de Geus
Learning is essential for an organization to adapt, improve
and innovate.
We are all conditioned to learn from the obvious
consequences of our actions.
We do not touch the hot stove again after the first try.
We are also conditioned to identify obvious problems and
apply quick solutions.
Quick solutions do not always address the root issue and
often lead to unintended consequences in other parts of the
system or organization.
8. TYPES OF LEARNING
There are three types of organizational learning:-
Single-loop learning.
Double-loop learning.
Triple- loop learning.
9. TYPES OF LEARNING
Single-loop learning: Occurs when errors are detected
and corrected without modifying a firm’s existing policies,
goals, or assumptions.
Double-loop learning: Occurs when errors are detected
and corrected such that a firm’s existing policies, goals,
and/or assumptions are called into question and challenged.
Triple-loop learning: Occurs when firms learn how to
effectively carry out single- and double-loop learning. This
requires identifying the various factors (both individual and
organizational) that help to facilitate organizational learning.
With triple-loop learning, firms “learn how to learn.”
