Develop a plan for your organization or department to move toward becoming or

enhancing it as a Learning Organization. Pick a company - this can be the company

you work at, have worked at or perhaps a company that have demonstrated the
opposite of being learning organizations (e.g. Lehman Brothers, Blockbuster, Pan
American World Airways, Kodak, etc). Evaluate the company you picked, in terms
of the checklist of qualities and develop a plan for change to address the areas of
needs. Describe their results, successes or failures in light of the readings
(concepts, theories, etc.) from this course, and provide recommendations through
the development of a plan that can help move this company toward becoming a
Learning Organization.
