Assignment 1: Identifying The Organizational Learning Issues
Suppose that your organization, or an organization with which you are
familiar, is dealing with a major issue in transitioning individual
learning (e.g., sharing knowledge, training programs, working as a team,
experiences, procedures, processes, etc.) into organizational learning. The
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has asked you, as the Vice President of Human
Resources, to assist with the issue and to help the organization transition
its culture to this new way of learning. Before you provide any
recommendations to address the issue, you must first research the root of
the problem and the resistance to this transition.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the
completion of this assignment. In your original work, you may use aspects
of existing processes from either your current or a former place of
employment. However, you must remove any and all identifying information
that would enable someone to discern the organization[s] that you have used.
Write a three (3) page paper in which you:
1. Assess the organization’s culture as it relates to shared knowledge,
then specify the significant issue(s) that you discovered with the culture.
Determine the disconnect you observed between the culture and
organizational learning using three (3) of the five (5) mystifications.
Support your response with at least one (1) example of each selected
mystification within the organization.
2. Give your opinion on the current Organizational Learning Mechanism(s)
(OLMs) that hinder organizational learning. Support your response with one
(1) example of a training or learning initiative (e.g., sharing knowledge,
training programs, working as a team, experiences, procedures, processes,
etc.) and the outcome when it was applied to the organization.
3. Determine which one (1) of the following OLMs is suitable for
replacing the identified OLM(s) that hinder organizational learning as a
corrective action to facilitate the transition from individual to
organizational learning: Off-line/Internal, On-line/Internal,
Off-line/External or On-line/External. Justify your selection.
4. Evaluate the norms of the organization’s learning culture to
determine the source(s) that currently prevent productive learning by
applying two (2) of the following norms: inquiry, issue orientation,
transparency, integrity or accountability. Provide at least one (1) example
of each of the selected norms’ manifestation within the organization in
your evaluation.
5. Use at least five (5) quality academic references in this assignment.
Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.
