I think this John addresses this in his "poly-loop" system -
generally equivalent to Argyris at Harvard's double-loop learning.
I wrote earlier regarding this - I think that even if the organization
objectively views the situation, their solutions will still be a rehash
- the learning is still double loop learning - Bateson's learning level
