Framework For Multivariate Continuous Transformation Towards Learning Organization

The goal of this work is to develop a framework for multivariate continuous transformation towards a learning organization. In order to achieve this goal, by using the design science methodology, we have developed the Learning Organization Atlas Framework. The learning Organization Atlas Framework includes the five following elements: Facets. The facets are particular aspects of the learning organization. Each facet contains a set of relevant attributes through which that particular aspect is clarified. The multi facet view makes it possible to look at the learning organization in a comprehensive manner. Grid. The grid is a result of the combination of following lenses (dimensions): ecological, developmental and stakeholder. The ecological lenses represent the learning organization entities. the following learning organization entities were identified: individuals, teams, departments, organization, direct environment and general environment. The developmental lens shows the levels at which the entity can be. the developmental lens includes three levels: Level 0 - No learning; Level 1 - Single-loop learning; and Level 2 - Double-loop learning. The stakeholder lens is a viewpoint lens. Through it, the different views that different stakeholders can have about the facets of the organization are represented. Stakeholders identified in the learning organization are employee, manager, executive. Maps. The maps are created through a grid application on each individual facet Atlas. An atlas is a collection of facets maps. The atlas enables the process of layering and de- layering the individual facets's maps. Roadmap. The roadmap provides guidelines to the organizations, their learning needs, and the required changes to be made The Learning Organization Atlas Framework was instantiated in a web tool. The framework, through case studies research, was implemented and evaluated in six companies.
