I have to disagree with the concept of learning organization as an
unreachable Ideal. From practical point of view and according to the
research at MIT SSM, every organization is a learning organization, i.e.
there are in every organization formal and informal processes that allow
to a certain degree change of the system as a whole to fit its
environment. If it was not so, we could not see any development in our
society, status quo would be eternaly preserved. The concern is, as humans
strive to improve their environment, to ease and thus accelerate the
process of fitting the environment, to render the system we make a part as
individuals to better respond to external pressures. This process is
driven by our personal motifs, which we can satisfy better as part of more
complex social system than individualy.
