The Fifth Discipline - The Art & Practice Of The Learning Organization (Peter Senge, 1994)(1).pdf

In the long run, the only sustainable
source of co mp etitive adva nta ge is
anization's ability to learn
faster than p etition.
Fo un d er a n d Direct or o f th e C ent er
anizational Learning at MIT's
Sloan School of Manage me nt, which
boasts such me mb ers as Intel, Ford,
Herman Miller, and Harley Davidson,
author Peter M. Senge has found a means
of creating a "anization." In
THE FIFTH D I S C I P L I N E , he draws
the blueprints for anization where
people expand their capacity to create
the results they truly desire, where new
and expansive patterns of thinking are
nurtured, where collective aspiration is set
free, and where people are continually
le ar ni ng how to learn together. THE
FIFTH D IS C IP LI N E fuses these features
into a coherent body of theory and
practice, making the whole of an
organization more effective than the sum
of its parts.
Company pany, from Intel to
AT&T to Procter & Gamble to Coopers
and Lybrand, have adopted the
disciplines of the anization to
rid themselves of the learning
"disabilities"
