Replying to LO30999 --
Hi At
In your response to my post on the list you write...
"What Senge designated as a LO is not a myth even though they are
scarce. It is a pity that so many institutions for learning call
themselves LOs while they do not qualify the least for a Sengian LO."
When I said I was writing a few personal notes around "The Learning
Organisation is a myth", this does not mean that I believe that the
concept of a learning organisation is a myth. Quite the contrary.
What I do find useful when "investigating" things, is to look from a
contrary viewpoint. An this is what I was doing. I find it a useful
technique to stimulate my thoughts.
We are all so conditioned to look at things from our own perspective.
From a viewpoint that we believe in. In doing so we potentially deny
ourselves that other perspective that allows us to ask "what would x
look/behave like if y were true"?
Its difficult - like playing chess with oneself without cheating! -
but rewarding.
