The rate at which organisations learn may become the only sustainable source of advantage. 1989 Learning is increasingly being seen today by the successful companies as a major strategic weapon. More organisations are finding that, in today's environment of rapid change and intense competition, their only competitive advantage is the rate at which their staff and the organisation can learn.
Successful organisations believe that their most valuable asset is their human resource.
Furthermore, they recognise that learning is a generative and transforming process that goes beyond the traditional training and development response. Relying on solutions from a previous time period is not sufficient. Successful organisations pursue and encourage learning actively in all facets of their enterprise by creating learning opportunities and rewarding continuous learning. Our vision involves companies and organisations that are learning organisations. They will be geared for openness and change.
