Replying to LO27988 --
You asked, Elixabete,
"if you could explain or list disadvantages or drawbacks of the LO."
"Of the LO?" I hear in your words that an LO is a thing, an entity,
something to point to. I don't think it is. It's not a learning
organization that has disadvantages, it is people who make disadvantages
in systems through their unique behaviors around communicating
experiences, knowledge, values, etc. which serve the human spirit.
But if there are disadvantages, perhaps they reside in the very term
itself, and the explanations which enfold it. Most people are not prepared
in their daily work lives for considerations of any complexity beyond the
In Box. We humans do not consciously and naturally gravitate toward the
unknown, toward gaps, away from stasis.
Where an organization exists which unfolds learning into and out of itself
like a nautilus shell, there may not be any recognition whatsoever of its
shape, its beauty when "turned" in your hands or mine.
We do much "turning" on this list. But the "thing in itself"? Ah, now
there's a challenge to travel to the stars. And back.
Love to you,
Barry
