Learning disabilities are tragic in children, but they are fatal in organizations. Because of them, few corporation live even half as long as a person - most die before they reach the age of forty. The organizations that excel will be those that discover how to tap their people's commitment and capacity to learn at every level in the company. What will distinguish these companies from the traditional 'controlling' organizations will be mastery of certain basic disciplines. Leading management thinker Peter Senge identifies five new 'competent technologies' which provide the vital dimensions in building organizations that can truly learn: Systems Thinking; Personal Mastery; Mental Modes; Building Shared Vision; and, Team Learning.
