I am currently working with a medium sized mining auxiliary company who
want to move toward a more intelligent structure/operation. They have
responded with enthusiasm to the learning organisation concept. They
accept it as an approach with which they can both grow and develop.
Incidently, they were listed as the sixth fastest growing company in
Australia over the last six years, by Business Review Weekly.

I would like to hear from anyone who has attempted to develop a holistic
model of the organisation. By this, I don't mean arbitrary metaphors
which highlight some aspect of an organisation's function (useful as they
are). I'm currently evaluating a nine point model of development called
the enneagram. I notice some discussion about this in the archives.

If anyone is currently using it, or attempted to use it or another
holistic mental model, please let me know what questions, comments and
criticisms it raised for you.

thankyou in advance, neil
