One of my main interests is how to show the linkage between learning and
business results. One of the things I HAVE learned (so to speak) by my
work in information systems and quality is that business managers are not
impressed by the intrinsic intellectual beauty of these disciplines. They
want to taste the beef. I'm still trying to document the beef in learning
organizations.
Right now, at least, I think that the key is tied to the word
"competition." So, I'd like to work with those who are trying to show how
learning organizations achieve quantifiably improved business results
(e.g., increased profits, growth, market share).
