Assignment

Like people, healthy organizations learn. An organization becomes a learning organization when it develops processes, systems, and human resources that are capable of sharing knowledge, innovating continuously, and benefitting from mistakes and failures as well as successes. This process leads to a corporate mindset of continuous improvement, always striving for perfection along the way, while understanding that perfection is a state that will never be fully achieved. For this assignment, you will gather ideas and examples about what a learning organization is and how it works.
