Rick,

Which bit don't you 'get'?

And, everyone/anyone else who might be reading this...what do-don't you
get from the exchanges above by Fred, Andrew and Rick?

Does it matter that in Fred's view "Organizations do not learn, people
do." What is the perception of inter-est in this?

As for me, I was labouring under the illusion that this was a forum called
a "Learning Organization" If, however, by Orgnaization Fred means
assemblages of concrete, plastic, microchips, payrolls, share
certificates, coporate tissues, magic markers, Pentagon credit cards for
purchasing 4 billion dollars worth of personal luxury items, then for
sure, we are as one;-) ORGANIZATIONS SURE DO NOT LEARN.

Best,

Andrew

PS The actual image of 'learning between noses' was from some highly
influential leader type, maybe Warren Bennis someone like that ...
