Belief is not knowledge, but we tend to hold our beliefs as if they
represent knowledge, selecting whatever evidence is required to
justify them. And because humans tend to cling to their beliefs as
truths, organizations often ignore the need for change, no matter
how urgent that need. From Belief to Knowledge: Achieving and
Sustaining an Adaptive Culture in Organizations offers potential
change agents an integrative analysis and treatment of the problem
of organizational learning. It demonstrates the importance of
looking beneath beliefs and assumptions to find the roots and
persistent influences that preserve them. It gives us a much
broader definition of organizational knowledge than that associated
with information technology and the currently popular idea of
knowledge as an asset. Furthermore, it provides an alternative view
of culture and change, one that is defined by the ability to
continually align collective beliefs with reality. "Douglas and
Wykowski...answer the question that lingers in the minds of many
managers - What does organizational learning mean and how does it
influence ongoing organizational success?" - Lee Newick, Shell
Downstream Rather than offer simple recipes, this book shows how
good leaders can evolve and sustain an adaptive culture that
develops knowledge through purposeful human interaction. It
explores key dynamics of learning, considers the diversity of
beliefs present in any group, and demonstrates ways that those
leaders can explore and encourage the potential of both the group
and individuals within the group. "Although this book is geared to
organizational change, it has the potential to change all areas of
human endeavor." - David Julian Hodges, City University of New York
