I too am interested in the idea of Universities and LO's.
In my experience Universities exhibit a lack of understanding of such
concepts beyond the pure academic challenge. There is to some extent a
reality gap which prevents that which is being espoused being put into
operation. My theory so far is that whilst the academics may have the
knowledge, and indeed the desire to promote the LO culture within their
organisation, it is the administrators who are responsible for the
operational aspects of the organisation. It is to some extent a case of
those with the expertise being in the wrong place.
