Learning Organisations
to be effective, the change must be drastic and not introduced slowly as time is money
not all employees want to learn and will resist the change
the openness created endangers the trust between employees
ignorance about learning; that is not following the proper learning cycle
`Over the top': too much emphasis on learning and not enough on
getting the job done
"To encourage the learning organisation as the `end' is an exercise in futility" anonymous
too much freedom and information can create misunderstandings
information overload, too much to absorb at once
"To love knowing and not learning: shallowness" ,
Confucius
the culture of the country may be a disadvantage
the perils of being a pioneer
survival of the fittest
overtaken by the competitors
become inefficient
fail to embrace new ideas and increase productivity
