Given that i do not operate from logic, the following argument may
be flawed.

If a learning organization needs to have an external learning
organization environment to exist in , then no learning organization
could exist. Because unless the universe as a whole was a learning
environment no such sub entity could exist.

OOPs. Possibly the universe is the learning organization and we are the
blip which is trying to deny this.

Who knows.???

Posssibly the question is, and you may be alluding to this, what needs to
exist in a learning organization's external environment for it to become
a learning organization. Possibly the opposite to the learning
organization ???
