The learning organization

A recent UN report states that "New explosive devices are now used in Afghanistan within a month of their first appearing in Iraq." (Reuters, September 27, 2005). How long does it take your organization to put a new technology or technique into use? How does that make you feel?

Offensive though it is, this decade's most notable examples of "learning organizations" are groups of insurgent cells with high internal loyalty and loose connections to both each other and also to the overarching sources of goals and funding.
