The study recommends that the organization should help their employees to know how to deal with difficult and challenging situations, develop self-confidence and self-esteem, accept imperfection and build on one’s strength. The organization should offer different kinds of mental models to help their employees make sense of the real world and be able to understand and interpret the environment and themselves. The organization’s shared vision should offer a unified framework for the organization's success so as to encourage the top managers to collaborate and to resolve conflicts creatively arising from the organization and that the organization should establish a climate for learning in the team because taking time to establish the environment and the processes for learning is the prerequisite for rapid learning and effective team performance in the future.

Despite a number of critics, Senge’s The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization is one of the best-selling books on management of all time. This chapter revisits Senge’s learning organization by looking at how the idea has been conceptualized since its publication. Consequently, it aims to further develop a more holistic model of Senge’s learning organization philosophy that can enable systematic evaluation of the process of creating a learning organization. In detail, it attempts to develop all possible antecedents for the five disciplines of a learning organization, namely personal mastery, mental models, team learning, shared vision, and systems thinking mainly based on what has been developed in the literature so far. This conceptual framework is expected to assist both practitioners and researchers in building learning organizations.

Nowadays, many organisations launch initiatives with lofty aims to develop themselves into “learning organisations” and “innovative organisations”. This article reviews the literature on the concepts of “learning organisation” and “innovative organisation” and argues that the innovative organisation can be developed from the foundation of the learning organisation. The five disciplines of learning organisation are fundamental to effective innovation. The spirit of innovation is an exercise in personal mastery. Thinking out of the box is an exercise in challenging mental models. To develop a truly innovative organisation, people should share the same vision for innovation. They should work closely and find synergy in teams because a team is more powerful than the sum of the individuals. Systems thinking allows the organisation to innovate in the areas where the highest payoff can be reaped and develop the platform to sustain innovation.
