Argyris has added now deutero loop learning. This is th combination of
Single Loop and Double Loop Learning. Single Loop Learning means capturing
and correction of errors without rearranging organizational strategies and
objectives. SLL adds only to the individual skills and competences. With
Double-Loop Learning the organization is actively involved in a continuos
change process concerning attitude, objectives, strategy and procedures.
DLL has vast implications for the structure of the memory of the
organization and organization specific competences and routines. I have
used the theories of Argyris for an article on the infrastructure of
knowledgemanagement. For those who are interested I have a picture that
clearly distinquishes SLL and DLL.
