Organizational learning refers to processes of discovering new knowledge at individual, team, and organizational levels, and capturing knowledge in repositories such as procedures, systems, and culture. By learning, firms improve their internal processes, external adaptation, and performance. It is therefore not surprising that learning is at the core of many modern practices such as Lean Management, Scrum, Agility, and so on. This course addresses classic and contemporary theory on organizational learning in order to understand how to improve learning in organizations.
