There's a definition from Peter Senge at

http://web.mit.edu/entforum/www/focus_online/Fall95/ask_mit/AskMITFa95.html

The address should be copied as one line to be used in a WWW browser.

The beginning of his definition is

"A learning organization is a particular vision of an enterprise that
has the capacity to continually enhance its capabilities to shape
its future."

The information is presented in a pleasant way.

I would be interested in knowing if WWW addresses are helpful to
others on the list.
