Barriers to Organizational Learning
Collaborative Action identified and cataloged eight major barriers to
implementing organizational change and organizational learning.
Surveying as a Research Tool
This white paper provides a quick overview of some key underlying issues
associated with survey research along with Collaborative Action's strategies
for addressing these issues.
Individuals spend on average 10 - 20% of their time
in organizations, checking their assumptions about others
with those whom they feel most comfortable - 3rd party
checking - rather than going directly to the individuals
with whom they have the inferences.
About 45% of our inferences about others intentions
(from one CA study) are either inaccurate, incomplete,
or both. If we accept the import of these findings - even
if we temper them - all of us can create new levels of
business value and dignity by genuinely learning how to
collaborate with others more effectively.
