No, I don't have a list.
No company is 100% a learning organization. The question to evaluate is
the depth and breadth of their action in this regard.
For example, in the depth dimension, is it just a superficial approach
(more training) or are they really doing the kinds of things that Senge
describes (personal and organizational capacity building, practing
collective reflection, good systemic understanding, etc.)
On breadth, is it just an empty initiative with no one following? Or is it
actively practiced by one or a few groups? Or more widespread.
