Adams Mark, Room 24 Learning and Action Learning and action are only tentatively connected. Attitude and behavior are only tentatively connected. The correspondence between knowledge and action, between attitude and behavior, are the essential characteristics of student learning and learning organizations.
People learn in organizations.
Formal organizations are abstract fictions co-evolved by people with some common purpose. Organizations are not real, but are useful ideas in describing the way that people organize. People learning, and acting on that learning, affects organizational structures and processes. Interpersonal processes in organizations, and organizational structures are dynamic, adapting to changing conditions. When the people change, the organization changes.
