WHAT IS A LEARNING

ORGANIZATION?

“A learning organization is a
group of people working
together to collectively enhance
their capacities to create results
they really care about.”

Peter Senge
The Fifth Discipline
THE FOUNDATION OF A LEARNING ORGANIZATION
IS STRONG RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

“An effective community college


leader equitably and ethically
sustains people, processes, and
information as well as physical and
financial assets to fulfill the
mission, vision, and goals of the
community college.”

Five Requirements of a
Learning Organization

 SHARED VISION
 TEAM LEARNING
 SYSTEMS THINKING
 ORGANIZATIONAL
LEARNING
 PERSONAL MASTERY
SHARED VISION

“Not an idea…. rather a force of


impressive power.
It lifts us out of our existing
aspirations, and opens the doors to
new ones.”

Peter Senge
The Fifth Discipline
SHARED VISION

 Critical because it provides the focus


and energy for learning.
 Gives a real sense of purpose.
 Must be real…genuine.
 Learning organizations and high
performing teams can not excel-- or
even exist -- without this.
 Promotes focus and long-term
commitment to organizational
effectiveness and survival.
INDIVIDUAL VISION IS NOT
ENOUGH

 Share your vision. See through


each other’s eyes.
 Create a shared vision that
everyone can support.
A TRUE SHARED VISION

 Draws out the commitment of


people throughout the
organization…IF developed with
everyone’s input.
 Not shared unless it has staying
power and evolving life-force that
lasts for years.
A SHARED VISION REQUIRES EFFECTIVE
COMMUNICATION

“An effective community college


leader uses clear listening, speaking
and writing skills to engage in
honest, open dialogue at all levels
of the college and its surrounding
community, to promote the success
of all students and to sustain the
community college mission.”

TEAM LEARNING

“Team Learning is the process of


aligning and developing the
capacity of a team to create the
results its members truly
desire.”

Peter Senge
The Fifth Discipline
TEAM LEARNING

 It is team learning, not individual


learning, that adds to organizational
learning.
 People need each other to achieve
their objectives.
 Teams are the key learning group of
organizations.
 Talented teams are made up of
talented
individuals.
 Team learning is the building block
TEAM LEARNING IS THE RESULT OF
COLLABORATION

“An effective community college


leader develops and maintains
responsive, cooperative, mutually
beneficial, and ethical internal and
external relationships that nurture
diversity, promote the success of all
students, and sustain the
community college mission.”

AACC Competencies for Community College Leaders


SYSTEMS THINKING

“A system is a perceived whole


whose elements ‘hang together’
because they continually affect
each other over time and
operate toward a common
purpose.”

Peter Senge
The Fifth Discipline
SYSTEMS THINKING

 Framework for focusing on patterns and


interrelationships.

 Widens people’s perspectives.

 Involves adopting a holistic approach to problem


solving – no individual blaming.

 Involves the ability to see connections between


issues, events and information as a whole or as
patterns, rather than as a series of unconnected
parts.

 Not breaking problems up into individual pieces. The


focus is on trying to understand how relevant
factors collectively interact to produce the problem.
SYSTEMS THINKING IS ESSENTIAL FOR
EFFECTIVE ADVOCACY

“An effective community college leader


understands, commits to, and advocates
for the mission, vision, and goals of the
community college.”

learning,
that adds to organizational
learning.”

Peter Senge
The Fifth Discipline
HOW ORGANIZATIONS
LEARN

 Organizational
Learning

 Team Learning

 Individual Learning
ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING IMPACTS
EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY

“An effective community college


leader strategically improves the
quality of the institution, protects
the long-term health of the
organization, promotes the success
of all students, and sustains the
community college mission, based
on knowledge of the organization,
its environment, and future trends.”

AACC Competencies for Community College Leaders


PERSONAL MASTERY

“The essence of Personal


Mastery
is focusing on ultimate
desires…
approaching life from a
creative,
rather than a reactive
viewpoint.”

Peter Senge
PERSONAL MASTERY

 Relates to a special level of proficiency


achieved through a commitment to lifelong
learning.

 Clear connection between individual


development and organizational learning.

 More than achieving a set of skills and


competencies.

 Based on a commitment to truth about


current reality.
PERSONAL MASTERY REQUIRES A HIGH
DEGREE OF PROFESSIONALISM

“An effective community college


leader works ethically to set high
standards for self and others,
continuously improve self and
surroundings, demonstrate
accountability to and for the
institution, and ensure the long-
term viability of the college and
community.”
