Learning Organization
Learning organizations are organizations
that …
− encourage adaptive and generative
learning,
− encourage their employees to think
outside the box and
− to work in conjunction with other
employees to find the best answer to
any problem.
Peter Senge, 1990

Is Trust Cheaper?
◼ Background:
– Traditional travel expense procedures are burdensome and assume people can’t be
trusted.
◼ Hypothesis:
– Such procedures cost more than they save and are demoralizing.
◼ Experiment:
– Pre-survey and audit. Try for three months in a few units with other units as controls.
Post-survey and audit.

Can peer decision-making about promotion support
alignment?
◼ Background:
– Even very egalitarian companies have hierarchies that require a promotion system.
◼ Hypothesis:
– If we use peer decision making to make decisions about promotions, we can separate performance
review from decisions such as promotion that have an element of competition.
◼ Experiment:
– Pre-survey to assess opinion on promotion policy
– Try with a group consent decision making for deciding on bonuses.
– Collect spontaneous feedback and post-survey after 3 months. If satisfaction improved, extend to
other groups.

Learning Organization
“A learning organization is a group of
people who are continually enhancing their
capabilities to create what they want to
create.”
