What Is a Learning Organization?

organizations are where individuals are constantly expanding their ability to
achieve the outcomes they really want, where fresh and expansive thought
processes are nurtured, where mutual aspiration is set free, and where
individuals are constantly learning to see the whole together.
A vision
of what might be possible is the Learning Business. It is not brought on solely
by training people; it can only occur as a result of learning at the level of
the entire company. A Learning Company is an entity that promotes and
constantly transforms itself through the learning of all its members.

organizational learning. This distinguishes an organization with an optimal
learning environment that is perfectly in line with the objectives of the
organization. Such an organization is a place where people are constantly
expanding their capacity to achieve the outcomes they really want, where fresh
and expansive thinking patterns are nurtured, where mutual aspiration is set
free, and where individuals are continually learning to see the reality
together.
