Identify a learning organization (LO). In your Response, name the organization, summarize why you think your topic qualifies as a learning organization, and examine and explain how the organizationâs LO-relevant core values and behaviors reflect and support your determination that your topic is an effective learning organization. Along with Week 7 readings on LOs, seek information from your topicâs mission and vision statements, code of ethics, employee expectations and company career benefits (hint: LOs often include this information in job postings and descriptions), announcements and articles about, or interviews of, senior leaders, product or service goals or marketing, and/or press releases. To jump start your LO selection, seehttp://www.astd.org/Publications/Magazines/TD/TD-Archive/2013/10/BEST-Intro.
Postscript: becoming familiar with several candidates in the BEST category could be very helpful preparation for this weekâs Question 2.
Use the following headings to organize and format your Response:
- Learning organization: [name]
- Why [name of LO] is a learning organization
- LO-relevant core values and behaviors, activities, and other cultural aspects
