Laura,
I wonder if the task ahead of you would be easier to do if you
thought of it as developing the conditions for learning to happen more
effectively? To me "devloping a learning community" is interpreted as
teaching people the whole thing, from scratch. I always assume that
learning is happening all the time. It might that the content of that
learning is not in harmony with what the organization needs, or that it is
not shared among members and/or units of the organization. I would like
to think that the effort should be aimed at channeling learning, setting
the conditions for the members to open up their minds and their mouths,
for then to learn how to learn together. In other words we should be
harnessing the learning that is already going on in the organization!
Ivan,
