Abstract

Purpose- In these days organizations are under severe pressure to learn faster and effectively in order to promote a learning environment. In this research I am going to investigate how organizations can transform themselves into learning organizations through development of a learning culture and the application of principles of a learning organization and knowledge management.

Design/Methodology/Approach- Literature review, research and survey type questionnaire consist of study done on the Lebanese consultant firms and distributed to functional and managerial levels of employees.

Findings- the seven dimensions of a learning organization were then used to promote a better understanding of how Consilai in particular and any organization in general, can adapt to the concept of a learning organization.
