Replying to LO28321
Dear AM de Lange,
Thank you for your response. Firstly I would like to thank you for your
previous contributions which I have read with great interest as I have
done with this one. Secondly, I do not believe that the word "arting" is a
verb in the English language. However, given this is our learning
community, I am sure we can create a secondary language as some do in
Learning Organisations.
In respect to your reply, I also believe that certain conditions exist
before an OO can transform itself into an LO. One of these conditions
relate to the universal acceptance from all managers, staff and other key
stakeholders that they have the capacity and genuine desire to push for an
active learning agenda where knowledge loops back to the organization
rather than leaks out and benefits no one, especially the stockholder or
investor.
I personally do feel that the term LO is a fad but an OO which has a
"destructive creativity" agenda may fade.
Kindest regards,
Glebe Stcherbina
