Abstract

A learning organization has been defined as one in which the members continually acquire, share, and use new knowledge to adapt to an ever‐changing environment. By incorporating Peter Senge′s principles from The Fifth Discipline within the McKinsey 7‐S framework, presents a systems model of a learning organization. The addition of one “S” yields a model and this systems model is an assemblage of “best practices” in organizational effectiveness. The implementation of these best practices can help transform a traditional organization into a learning organization.
