 Peter Senge: “Everything That We Do Is About Shifting the Capability for Collective Action…”Kathryn Goldman Schuyler ()
Chapter 70 in The Palgrave Handbook of Organizational Change Thinkers, 2017, pp 1185-1201 from Springer Abstract: Abstract Peter M. Senge is an author, organizational consultant, and systems thinker whose writings and workshops have influenced scholars and managers around the world. From his base at MIT in what was originally the Organizational Learning Center, which became the Society for Organizational Learning (SoL), Senge has contributed to a fundamental shift in the way that many look at the nature and scale of change. His initial book, The Fifth Discipline, brought together practices for generating the inner shift in awareness that he originally termed metanoia, from the ancient Christian term for movement of mind or awakening, supporting people in developing practical, interlinked capacities to reflect, learn together, and think systemically about how to have sustainable organizations in a sustainable world. His writings and collaborative work with leaders in schools, not-for-profit organizations, and corporations continue to contribute to organizational and societal evolution.
