Replying to LO29580 --
At,
Your very thoughtful response raises within me this question: What is the
purpose of learning in a learning organization? My initial answer is
framed in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Learning should first assure
(cooperative and competitive) survival and then the higher order purposes
can and should follow, depending on the desires of the stakeholders in the
organization.
How would you (and the rest of the list) respond?
