The Learning Organization is a model described by Peter Senge. Metaphors such as biological DNA can be applied to describe how every part of the organization contains the Vision of the organization. Organizations are the way humans form groups to develop tasks that are beyond the ability of an individual. Even though this book discusses corporate organizational issues they are particularly applicable to nonprofit organizational structures and therefore of interest to volunteers. Organizations that are collaborative learning institutions develop solid commitments from employees, volunteers, and the community it serves.
