"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."
