Using Senge’s five disciplines analyze if your company is a learning organization.

1. Discuss your findings strengths and weaknesses use your past six weeks of the analysis you performed on your company as evidence to support your judgment. Make sure you analyze your organization on each of the five disciplines.

For evidence, see if any of your prior week’s evaluations are relevant. Also, a complete argument includes analysis. To provide analysis tell your readers how your evidence supports your claim – just don’t provide an example (see https://www.umuc.edu/writingcenter/writingresources/paragraph_struc.cfm).

2. Discuss the challenges that your company would face moving to a learning organization.

To do this use three of Senge’s eight strategies that would help your business transform into a learning organization. Discuss why you selected these strategies over the others. Also make sure you discuss how would these strategies help your company?

As business leaders, each of us is faced with a similar dilemma today. How do we need to change to stay effective despite the rapid and continuous change we are faced with in the business environment today? Innovation should stem from a fundamental change in strategic thinking and should begin with the reform of our education system. Dr. Peter Senge, director of the Center for Organizational Learning at the MIT Sloan School of Management, sat down with SBC’s Pierre Bismuth and Opoku Danquah at Schlumberger-Doll Research Centre to shed light on this topic.
