Greetings Ana,
I think you are very brave because universities do not like to be
criticised in very basic and general thing which they have (ought ;-) to
do.
By now the management teams of most universities ought to have heard
something about a Learning Organisation. I wonder how many teams have
actually started in transforming their university into a LO?
I usually try to avoid shock tactics, but in this case I think that shock
tactics are needed because it involves people who should have known much
better.
Here in South Africa a few departments have started to become a LO, but
not one whole university. I also think that this is the best way to do it
-- begin with a department in which its members want to do it
spontaneously.
Do you intend to complete the study? By the way, some of the categories
are (still?) in Portugese which I tried to understand with my little Latin
and Spanish, but failed in.
With care and best wishes
