Learning Organization Survey - 0 views

  •  
    "Thank you for your interest in the Learning Organization Survey. This is a complete version of the survey described in our Harvard Business Review article "Is Yours a Learning Organization?" The survey is meant only for your personal benefit, and your answers will not be used or seen by anyone other than yourself. It is our hope the survey results will provide a starting point to help you assess how well your organization meets the criteria for being a learning organization, especially in comparison to the benchmarks we have established in previous research. The output you receive will show your own scores on every learning building block as well as the corresponding benchmark scores; the benchmark medians and quartiles you will see after completing this survey are the very same ones that appear in our article. Please note that because your results will be based solely on your own perceptions of your organization's learning environment, processes, and leadership, they may differ from the results of other employees within the organization."

A Better Way to Manage Knowledge - John Hagel III, John Seely Brown, and Lang Davison -... - 2 views

  • most knowledge managers lost sight of the fact that the real value is in creating new knowledge
  • the last thing the world needs is another knowledge management scheme focusing on capturing knowledge that already exists

      i beg to differ. It might not be the LAST thing. Learning from past mistakes is still useful, as is avoiding to rebuild the wheel. 
  • What we need are new approaches to creating knowledge, ones that take advantage of the new digital infrastructure's ability to lower the interaction costs among us all — ones that mobilize big, diverse groups of participants to innovate and create new value.

  • new knowledge comes into being when people who share passions for a given endeavor interact and collaborate around difficult performance challenges.

      the need for mission driven group/team interaction
  • creation spaces, heavily relying on shared network platforms, provide tools and forums for knowledge creation while at the same time capturing the discussion, analysis, and actions in ways that make it easier to share across a broader range of participants.
  • This focus on knowledge creation shifts the motivations of participants. Knowledge management systems desperately try to persuade participants to invest time and effort to contribute existing knowledge with the vague and long-term promise that they themselves might eventually derive value from the contributions of others. In contrast, creation spaces focus on providing immediate value to participants in terms of helping them tackle difficult performance challenges while at the same time reducing the effort required to capture and disseminate the knowledge created.
