SummaryLearning organizations develop and sustain an environment, which stimulates the power of learning in all organizational members, allowing organizational flexibility and adaptability. Successful organizations use the power of learning in order to produce the maximum benefit for the organization, but also to communicate to the workforce that the key element for organizational success is not cumulative knowledge, but the ability to exploit new learning opportunities at a fast pace.
Moreover, increasing market rivalry necessitates organizational flexibility. Modern organizations need to be incessantly ready to adapt to new market realities, mainly because the bargaining power of buyers and suppliers defines the market conditions, requiring from the organizations flexible organizational structures.
Within this context, leadership needs to build adequate structures and to provide to all organizational members new learning opportunities. During the transformation process, the mental models of how organizational members perceive organizational culture need to shift towards a new perspective. The process of organizational transformation through organizational learning causes creative tension.
