Argyris and Schön

Argyris and Schön are thinkers who studied how people learn and communicate in organizations. They introduced concepts like "single-loop" learning, where individuals correct errors within existing ways of thinking, and "double-loop" learning, which involves questioning and changing underlying assumptions. Their work helps explain why organizations often struggle with change and innovation, emphasizing the importance of reflective thinking and open dialogue to foster meaningful learning and improvement. Their theories are widely used to improve organizational effectiveness by encouraging deeper understanding and adaptive thinking.
