The fifth discipline : the art and practice of the learning organization

Senge, Peter M.2006
Book
¿́¿Unlike the past, the success of an organisation can no longer depend on one or a few of its members. While it was previously possible to have a chief executive learning for the organisation, and directing it to achieve its goals and vision, the most successful corporation of the future is the learning organisation where the commitment and capacity to learn is tapped at all levels. This, in brief, is Peter Senge¿́¿s argument. Senge suggests that there are fi ve ¿́¿disciplines¿́¿ that are gradually converging to build organizations that can truly learn, and to continually enhance their capacity to realize their highest aspirations. These fi ve disciplines ¿́¿ Personal Mastery, Mental Model, Shared Vision, Team Learning, and System Thinking ¿́¿ are as critical to each other as the instruments in an ensemble. They are also relevant to the SAF as to any other organisation.¿́¿ -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 4th Edition - STAGE II: CPT 2 to MAJ 1 & MWO-SWO.
