World Class Theory of Organisational Learning

*Learn - Unlearn - Relearn (L - U - R)

LUR is a dominant thought of people. In the others word, this may be the whole LEARNING process of every people.
In Chinese, the eldest people always teach the younger, they need to be MODEST during the study period. I think that is right for all time. Although the LUR theory was constructed by Western, it still matches the original thinking of our Chinese.

On my own, i think the UNLEARN part is more important than the others. The reason behind is i think a normal person is so difficult to forget something that is already dig in your mind. People's memory is a valuable part, is an important asset. If a the will of that people don't have the power to force him forget those memory, i can be sure this is the most difficult step in this learning process.

Learning is so simply, just learn the knowledge from the others. I think a lot of people can achieve this part.
Now, let's talk about Relearn. After you have forgotten the thing that you have learned before, you need to accept the new thing. I thing this is quite important. After you knew that your past knowledge is wrong or can not be used in present situation, you need to get some changes. As a result, you need to forget the past and accept the new one. And this is the purpose of LUR.

Organizational Learning(OL) may be similar to the Individual Learning(IL). Since OL is the sum of IL. For studying the IL, we may find more in study the LUR to improve the style of OL. For the goal of most company, OL is still a great and important knowledge.

  1. It seems that there is a black box for "process" to unlearn. You may be correct as we are indulged to our particular way of thinking and doing.
