We convert bricks, equipment and structural form - into something which, like a living entity, can learn. Well this of course is nonsense.
People come and go in companies.
They are obviously, in their own way, learners. In frantic, globally competitive market environments - people in business must do reconnaisance, evaluate, adapt , change, search out and take new opportunities. We have learned. I may learn solely for myself - this has nothing to do with my employer. Yet the employer may want me to learn things and behaviours that suit the firm's needs.
