Greetings dear Nick,
I wish you and your friend success all the way.
For what it is worth, do not try to "hard sell" the concept Learning
Organisation. Introduce the main features gradually and encourage
participants to examine/question them as they see fit. Remember that some
of them will have experience of what i call "tacit LOs". (A "tacit LO" is
an organisation which has not been formally been depicted as a LO, yet it
functions as one.) Draw as much as you can on those experiences.
With care and best wishes,
