Chapter 1 in Eight Steps to Sustainable Organizational Learning, 2015, pp 1-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter I present an example in which the company “International Resources” failed completely in its efforts to implement a strategy for increased organizational learning. I explain that the underlying cause of their problem was a lack of knowledge about the human learning process from a psychological perspective. I also present three basic theses on which the book rests: Everyone seems to confirm the need for learning in working life, but few highlight the substance in this learning process Most leaders assume that all collaboration is good, but bad collaboration is worse than no collaboration at all There is an over-confidence in the inherent ability of information technology to solve many of the problems that exist in relation to learning
