Organizations are cutting resources and headcount. Why is it important for an organization to create a learning culture?
"It is precisely because they are cutting resources and headcount that organizations, nonprofit and for-profit, must find ways to be more efficient and effective with what they have... To maximize productivity they need to be continuously learning. They must learn what they should be doing, how they can do it better, and how they will know when they have achieved the results they want...This means making information feedback, reflection, and knowledge-sharing part of the way they function on a day-to-day basis... Doing more of the same, even if slightly better, is not the answer."
