Analysis of the data gathered from the returns of our groupmates on the Combined Learning Organization Survey in the area of Concrete Learning Process

Regarding the Concrete Learning Processes and Practices in the Combined Learning Organization Survey, there are divided into 5 areas:
(1) Experimentation,
(2) Information collection,
(3) Analysis,
(4) Education and Training, and
(5) Information Transfer.

It is obviously that Kyle and my organization have relatively low result in all five areas and Dilys’s organization is the highest.

With comparing the Summarize Table which we made to compare the History, Culture, planning and staff in our own organization. I find that Kyle and my organization’s culture are similar, we both not much collaboration between departments unless an external forces by headquarters or something happened to be solved. I think this kind of culture is the main reason that tends to our low results in all five areas. Since staffs have not much chance to interact with others department, we may not see the whole views about the organization and how can we find a better way to improve the work flow or try new experiment on learning and practices? And it also tends to lack of information transfer, problem cannot be foresee.
And the information collection part is important but better not only from “external truths”, but through the approaches that have emerged from the experiences of people who have lived and breathed the complex realities and multiple perspectives that aid organizations face on a daily basis.

In my opinion, a successful organization should responsive to past errors and able to transform itself continually. So the processes and practices of learning in an organization should always be review and analysis to find a better way to motivate staff for learning. A good principle is needed to provide the context for local reinvention, inspired by experiment and analysis. And should understanding the dynamics of change and promoting a collective learning framework which staffs can constantly express their respective interests and reach consensus.
