"Learning Organizations" are the latest Org Dev (O.D.) hype. I usually delight in trashing the latest management fad and worthless book to take your money (ala "FISH", by Lundin), but there is something to like here. While under the covers, the concept of the Learning Organization is nothing really new, it encompasses a lot of concepts covered in a wide range of other "fad" books.A good blend of short case study examples and easy theory. Reminds me of the "In Search of Excellence" format. The theory part is not overdone, and is tied to some simple acronyms, such as DIFFPAT and FLO, which you can remember. Theory of how teams learn and how companies can utilize that learning is what the book is really all about. Gives different strategic approaches based on which area (HR, workgroups, execs) initiates the strategy.The book would be most helpful if combined with some material or reading about how individuals learn - such as the auditory, visual, and physical styles, and how organizations could create LO's using these elements.
