"In the absence of certainty, one
    must have courage.  Courage
    requires overcoming our fear of
    the unknown...   We are afraid of
    letting go that chaos requires,
    because we believe our world will
    fall apart without our strict control.

    And yet the new science of chaos
    theory tells us there is an
    underlying order to the universe
    that does NOT require our control,
    and understanding that chaos can
    be a gateway to quantum leaps in
    improvement."

    --- Daniel H. Kim
    ""All this systems thinking stuff
    has no meaning without
    understanding that we're part of
    something larger than ourselves
    (the self)...We've depleted the
    earth and we're fragmenting our
    spirit. We live under a massive
    illusion of separation from one
    another, from nature, from the
    universe, from everything.  It's
    the great liability we have
    inherited from the Industrial
    Revolution back through
    Reformation...The human species
    is profoundly out of balance. If our
    work has an impact, it will bring
    us back into the natural order of
    things."

    --- Peter M. Senge,
    in Fortune Magazine.
Welcome

Welcome to LOPN (Learning Organization Practitioners' Network) Singapore! Modelled on SoL Global, the network
is inspired by the works spreading in the region to create
Learning Organizations which are based on the works
as espoused by
Peter Senge in his book, the The Fifth Discipline, The Art and Practice of the Learning
Organization.

The network opened in September 2002 to offer
resources and a platform for communities in public, private and
non-profit sectors learning to seamlessly integrate the core
five disciplines of Learning Organization in everyday
leadership and management practices.


What we do?
Support the building of Learning Organization competencies and disciplines through core competency and
practice
workshops, case-studies and application works to help you learn to lead this work from wherever
you are.  Leaderships then are guided in turning around existing organizations into learning organizations;

Create a supportive network of practitioners, facilitators of the work and novices in Singapore and the
region through our
Practice Sessions, Practitioners' Forums and eForums;

Provide a platform where multiple sectors may seek to work jointly at local, regional and global levels on
sustainability, corporate, social and environmental issues and projects.

    My time from Dec 2008 was spent at Botswana on a 4-6 year term project with the Government of
    Botswana.  It has been an exciting journey seeing and learning what affects the systemic interrelatedness
    of a country.

    For those who would like assistance on introduction to the works of Learning Organization, click here to
    reach a practitioner or consultant near you (in Asia).  We are exploring ways to reach all of you online.  
    Will keep you posted.
