title: The learning organization: adapted from The fifth discipline by Peter Senge.
abstract: In his book The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge presents a system of thinking and acting that can be the basis for reducing the "learning disabilities" in an organization. In an article, written from the perspective of a multidepartmental health care manager, the author reviews Senge's disciplines and how they relate to running a department today.
