Learning Organization is the most important intervention tool for organizational development,


     1. where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire,

          3. where collective aspiration is set free, and
          4. where people are continually learning to learn.


The 5 Learning Disciplines


     1. Personal Mastery
     2. Mental Models,
     3. Shared Vision,
     4. Systems Thinking and
     5. Team Learning


These 5 disciplines are each made up of a set of tools and practices for building and sustaining learning leadership capability in organizations.


Module 1: Personal mastery:


Personal mastery is the discipline of personal growth and learning. It is the expansion of ability to create the results in life that one is seeking. It is a process. It is not something that you possess.[FM1] [JP2] 

 

Module 2: Household production of health:  


This module discusses household production of health and mental model.

Mental Model: “Mental Models are deeply ingrained assumptions, generalizations, or even pictures or images that influence how we understand the world and how we take action.” (Peter Senge, 5th Discipline, 1990).

 

Module 3: System thinking


Systems thinking is a discipline for seeing the whole, not only the parts of the whole. It is a structure or framework for seeing the interrelationship between parts (variables/factors) rather than seeing the parts separately.

 

Module 4: Being proactive


Being Proactive aims to harness the instincts of the leaders to boost-up their sense of responsibility and proactiveness.

 

Module 5: Shared vision


A collective vision or shared vision is dreaming together of what you and other members want to accomplish or create as a part of the organization.

 

To be an exemplary leader, you have to be able to inspire a Shared Vision.

 

Module 6: Constraints & opportunities


This step is crucial in grounding the strategy in reality. Why is there a difference between current reality and your vision? This is the key to making a good analysis. The technical term that describes this is “root cause analysis”.

 

Module 7: Team building


Team building is the process of bringing together a group of individuals to enhance their relationships, improve collaboration, and increase overall effectiveness as a team.

 

Module 8: Strategy designing and Action planning


Strategy design is the process of outlining what we want to change and what we need to do to achieve our Vision.

 

Module 9: Effective communication


Good communication is the lifeblood of organizations. The art of getting a message across so the audience understands and responds is a critical part of being an effective manager and leader.
