A learning organization transforms itself through continuous learning, knowledge acquisition, and by motivating employees to practice knowledge management. It also cherishes an open culture, designs feedback loops, promotes personal mastery, and cultivates a common vision. The document then discusses organizational structures, noting that a mechanistic structure resembles a bureaucracy while an organic structure is flexible and adaptable. It identifies key elements of organizational structure such as work specialization, departmentalization, chain of command, span of control, and degree of centralization.
