BTW, I'm not trying to suggest this is THE model for a learning
organization. It's just one that's being tried in _the real world_.
I'd be happy to share with anyone who's interested and would like to
see any other models you come up with. This commitment to learning is
very new here at SCE so I can't give you any assessment of the impact
on performance yet. I hope to be able to discuss such things on the
list at some future date. I'm sure I don't need to tell this group
that many of the benefits are long-term and difficult to quantify.
Also worth noting that we expect more changes to the organization
structure in the coming year, some specifically designed to promote
the learning organization. But I don't know the timeframe for those
changes. I have no idea what they will be. Be happy to share news of
developments when they occur, though.
