THE CHANGE MAKER’S GUIDE TO NEW HORIZONS
The Roof
A new focus on developing learning organisations is vital if we are to influence global thinking
around sustainability and have an impact on the leaders who will take their organisations
forward into the ever-increasing uncertainties and complexities of our twenty-first century
world. We aim to contribute to this development by offering a greater understanding of what
a learning organisation is, recognising the importance of systems thinking and unlearning in
the learning process, and also offering the Caplor House as a tool that helps to achieve this.
To inspire and enable people to deliver a sustainable future, it is imperative that we help build
organisations which learn fast and effectively. In building these learning organisations, we
must also ensure that we make the walls permeable, so that each separate learning
organisation allows its learning to spread out to touch and impact the next organisation within
the wider learning community. These different networks can produce greater resilience to
the volatility and uncertainty in the environment through shared knowledge and enlightened
collaboration.
