There are a series of cases, with more to come, available from the Society
for Organizational Learning which document "case studies" of
organizational learning efforts in a pluralistic, multi-voice participant
style called, "learning histories."

They are available at the following web addresses:

>AutoCo Epsilon
>http://www.sol-ne.org/pra/pro/aut/index.html
>
>Electro Components:
>http://www.sol-ne.org/res/wp/eclh.html
>
>AutoCo Delta
>http://www.sol-ne.org/res/wp/AutoCoDeltaLH.html
>
>Mighty Motors
>http://www.sol-ne.org/res/wp/mmlh.html

These "case studies" provide examples of effective and ineffective
practices in organizations undertaking serious organizational learning
efforts. They are "assessments for learning" of organizational learning
initiatives.

They are intended to be used in group discussions to build an
understanding of the context in which various techniques are or aren't
effective, building on what others have experienced before then, and
developing a shared understanding around the ideas of implementing
organizational learning so that they can collectively be effective.

Comments are welcomed!
