I think there's a lot to be said for the idea of creating a learning culture (or perhaps better, growing a learning culture). But near the end, this article goes right off the rails. Under 'foundations for cultivating learning culture' we read: "Purpose: establish shared vision; ensure leadership engagement and support; align learning to organizational business plan and initiatives." No. No no no. You're describing propaganda. Go back to Senge: "organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire." A learning culture is not about getting all your employees aligned to your vision, it's about getting to the point where they don't need your vision.
