Learning Enterprise

A learning enterprise is an economically based organisation system which enables continuous learning and knowledge processes between collaborators, groups and the entire organisation. It stands out due to even hierarchies, decentralisation, groups and project organisation.

Six dimensions characterise a learning enterprise:

  1. Learning has a strategic significance to assure competitive ability (economic dimension);
  2. Work is integral and demands and promotes learning at the same time (organisational-qualified dimension);
  3. Business goals and visions are pursued jointly, every employee is learning and teaching at the same time (enterprise cultural dimension);
  4. Learning in the work process is increasing, learning locations and on-site learning combinations are becoming more manifold (organisational learning dimension);
  5. Instructive learning is supplemented by constructive learning, experience-related and organised learning processes are combined (theoretical learning dimension);
  6. New forms of learning and learning concepts result (didactic methodical dimension).
