Learning origination
Edmondson (2008: 66) emphasized, “No matter how much thought goes into advance
planning, knowledge work often requires people to make concurrent collaborative
decisions in response to unforeseen, novel, or complex problem.”
Organizations focus on the discipline of learning that the goal is to discover what
works and what doesn’t, of then sacrificing short-run efficiency to get insight into
new problems (Edmondson, 2008). as Edmondson (2008) points out:
“Organizations don’t focus on getting things done more efficiently than competitors do.
Instead, they focus on learning faster…Figuring out the best ways to accomplish
different kinds of work in a rapidly changing environment starts with seeking out best
practices gathered from experts, publications, and even competitors.”
