Learning Organisations in the 21st Century
Reflecting, Refining and Reshaping an Essential Strategy - Glasgow, 2007
It is now sixteen years since Peter Senge published his much needed and very popular book "The Fifth Discipline". The Learning Organisation concept is still very much alive in many organisations, and the thinking of Peter Senge, and those inspired by his ideas, continues to influence the thinking and acting of many managers. However, the world has moved on and the Learning Organisation concept has evolved to meet the challenges of the Knowledge Economy.
E.C.L.O. has been to the fore in stimulating debate and disseminating new ideas over this period. However, the time is now right to pose new questions as to how far the LO-concept should be recast, revitalized, or reinvented to fit the conditions of modern organisations and add value to their coping with new challenges.
We hope and expect that our 2007 conference will prove to be a landmark event in this respect and would welcome your proposed contribution to what is always a stimulating forum for the dissemination of original and challenging ideas.
The philosophy of the Conference will be to provide an overview of approaches and experiences in order to trigger discussion and debate among the participants. To support this, the programme will be structured to allow plenty of time and opportunities for interaction.
As an ECLO conference is one where the speakers are actively encouraged to be interactive and discoursive, it follows that the presentation of academic papers is rather unusual. As a consequence, ECLO does not publish printed conference proceedings but by following the links below you will find material provided by our speakers in support of their presentation.
