I am reading Katherine Pasteur's "Learning for development: A literature review" (2005?) which was written in collaboration with the Institute for Development Studies. If you are looking for more information and resources on organizational learning.
Much of the learning organisation literature is aspirational, i.e. it seeks to describe the organisational ideal where learning is maximised. It tends to be focussed on practical implementation, and generating action and change to create an environment that is conducive to learning.There is an emphasis on creating the kinds of conditions in which individual and collective creativity and performance flourish and thus contribute to the organisation's ability to achieve results.
The learning organisation can be seen as being based on an architecture of guiding ideas, innovations in infrastructure and theory methods and tools which support the learning practice of individuals, teams and the
organisational whole.
