Here are my notes/thoughts from the 1995 Systems Thinking in Action
Conference, "Building Organizational Learning Infrastructures," Sep.
18-20, 1995, Boston.

Keynote - Infrastructures for Sustaining Transformational Change - Peter Senge

The importance of storytelling. Thomas Berry with the Teilhard de
Chardin society: "We have lost our story." Old story is dysfunctional, new
story is still coming into creation. We are between stories. Holograms -
we all have the story.
Planning as learning: The plan is irrelevant, the process of planning
is vital.
Interplay of organizational architecture and deep learning cycle (see
article [the introduction] in the 5th Discipline Fieldbook). The triangle
is there only to support the circle. Work on organizational architecture
to see deep learning cycle to see implicate order.
