Benefits of
Strategic Learning
to Individuals,
Organizations, and Ecosystems1 |
|
Learning enables individuals, organizations
and
ecosystems to:
-
change conditioned behavioral routines
to be more adaptive;
-
generate and evaluate a wider range of hypotheses about the future;
-
select appropriate mind-tools and environments to enhance their
learning,
thinking and
implementation capability.

Strategic Programming
vs. Strategic Learning1 |
-
In rational
strategic programming,
strategy formulation is a
discrete step that logically precedes strategy implementation.
-
In strategic organizational learning,
a firm assumes that it cannot realistically tell in advance how the
future will unfold or what will work, and it therefore intertwines
formulations and implementation, continually adjusting its strategy
as it gains new insights through a
trial-and-error process of learning by doing.
