Creativity and the Learning Culture

Abstract

Calls for a deep exploration of the changes in thinking and behaviour necessary for the creation of a learning organization. The issues of individual and organizational evolution and transformation call for asking profound questions such as “What does it mean to learn?”, “How does a learner think, feel and relate?” and “What and why do we seek to learn?” Explores the shift from information to knowledge leading to wisdom, the personal requirements necessary to become a learner, the difference between training and creative learning, the promise of collaborative intelligence, the power available in the union of differences, communication of new knowledge, and the foundations of the innate urge to learn and evolve. Concludes that a learning culture is built with individuals who have chosen to grow into being mature learners and recommends certain areas of introspection and exploration in order to access the power and potential available to creative learners and learning organizations.
