Summary
Organizational learning belongs to learning processes. Template:Knowledge process navigation
Purpose
To gain knowledge from experience through experimentation, observation, analysis and a willingness to examine both successes and failures, and to then use that knowledge to do things differently.
While organizational learning cannot take place without individual learning, individual learning does not necessarily produce organizational learning. Organizational learning occurs when an organization becomes collectively more knowledgeable and skillful in pursuing a set of goals.
