Argyris & Schön (theory of organizational learning)

Argyris and Schön's theory of organizational learning explains how organizations improve over time. They distinguish between single-loop learning, which involves making adjustments within existing goals, and double-loop learning, which questions and alters underlying assumptions and policies. Effective organizations foster double-loop learning, encouraging reflection and adaptation at a deeper level, leading to meaningful change. This process helps organizations become more adaptable, innovative, and responsive to their environment by continuously learning from experience and revising their fundamental beliefs and strategies.
