I would like to introduce myself to this list; my name is Tom Oswald. I
am an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Management at Walsh College in Troy,
MI USA and an Adjunct Lecturer in Management at Oakland University in
Rochester, MI. My field is strategy. The reason that I am interested in
your group is my belief that the key to success is to have the entire
organization motivated and contributing, in other words, a learning
organization.

My experience with the learning organization is limited to Senge's book
and a few articles. A question that I would pose is what experiences have
you had with turning existing, bureaucratic organizations into learning
organizations and what advice would you give for accomplishing this
daunting feat.

I am looking forward to participating in this list and learning with you.
