Organizational Learning

A discipline that studies how individuals, teams, and organizations create, share, retain, and refine knowledge to improve performance.

Key Points

  • Focuses on knowledge creation, sharing, retention, and application at individual, team, and organizational levels.
  • Enabled by practices like lessons learned, retrospectives, knowledge repositories, and communities of practice.
  • Relies on leadership support, a feedback-friendly culture, and repeatable processes and tools.
  • Aims to enhance future project outcomes by reducing rework, improving decisions, and standardizing best practices.

Example

After completing an ERP implementation, the project manager conducts a lessons learned workshop, documents root causes and solutions, updates the PMO's templates and checklists, and publishes knowledge articles. These assets are then used to train new teams and plan the next rollout, leading to fewer defects and a shorter schedule.
