Response to Kunal 3.1 Senge’s Five disciplines
Hi Kunal, Senge’s five disciplines are a quick way to identify gaps in any organization. When we look at each of the five disciplines and compare them one by one to what is currently going on in our work environment I’m sure we are all sure to fall short.
I appreciate how you described the difference between setting short-term and long-term goals. I believe both are necessary for a company to be successful. Short term goals allow the employees to have an achievable accomplishment. Long-term goals create an accomplishment that people can aspire to. Senge’s model goes through the five steps which are team learning, mental models, systems thinking, shared vision and personal mastery. I found a good table to demonstrate the disciplines I have posted below.
In my current role, I know we have a shared vision as a team. I think we would benefit from team learning and integrated thinking systems. Right now, our team is currently quite new and we are getting to know each other. I think building a learning organization would help us to be a more cohesive team. Have you seen any benefits to incorporating Senge’s model into your workplace? Are there things that your company is currently doing where you see room for improvement? I find Senge’s model to be a very effective collaborative model that supports the ongoing learning that happens within healthcare.
