    According to senge (1947), all these 5 disciplines are interrelated to each other where they can not stand independently. An individual focus could be made for one or two but you have to focus for all 5 when you are really focusing on the solid outcome of an rganization.

    Learning organization is a group of people working together collectively to enhance their capacities to create results they really care about. Organizational learning involves individual learning, and those who make the shift from traditional organization thinking to learning organizations develop the ability to think critically and creatively.
