Overview: Organizations that are good learners continually adapt successfully to a changing environment. An organization cannot read a book or attend a course, so how does it learn? One thing an organization can do is regularly assess what's working and what's not, and then make changes accordingly. This is learning from experience and it depends on rigorously facing reality. Studies have shown that the main reason high fliers in business fail to learn are that they never admit to making any mistakes. Someone or something else is always to blame. Being defensive is a sure way to avoid learning.
