The concept of learning organization was made famous by Peter Senge who wrote the book, “The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization”. Although the concept of learning organization is novel but the organizations which can bracketed as learning organization are very high in number. They have been running successfully for long and most of them had gone through overhauls which fit into the definition of learning. Some of the examples are given below:
- Nokia as learning Organization: Nokia which started as a pulp meal in 19th century in Finland has metamorphosed into a multi national giant which is known for its mobile handsets. The brand name Nokia was also used for manufacturing of rubber. However, it was in the 1912 that Nokia entered into a business which was related to telecommunication and since then it has been making innovations to maintain lead position in the telecommunication world.
- GE as learning organization: General Electrical which started as manufacturer of bulbs and household gadget has metamorphosed into a multi national giant having interests in finance, chemicals and nuclear technologies.
- Wipro as a learning organization: Wipro was a FMCG giant which diversified into the world of Information Technology. Such is the success of this diversification that people know it more for information technology and software rather than FMCG.
These organizations are standing tall just because they always kept in touch with the changes happening around them whether the government policy, change of taste of people or change in technology. In short we can say that they followed the method of Systems Thinking.
