Organisational cultureLearning Organization (LO)
“The LO concept was developed to help organisations cope with the rapid acceleration in the pace of change – a challenge also facing every NSO. Additionally, the LO approach is one that encourages Members to be involved and contribute to the NSO’s development. Member involvement is a growing expectation at all levels and the LO approach will help us to meet that expectation.”
