Abstract

From Beginner to Expert: Creating Organizational Climates for Experiential Learning

The Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition will be presented as a basis for thinking about action, reasoning, judgment and experiential learning in organizational contexts. Experiential learning is defined as a turning around of preconceptions, or adding nuances to one’s understanding. Currently organizations spend little time or effort in capturing experiential learning in order to make it collective and cumulative. Examples of making experiential learning visible, collective and cumulative based on twenty years of research and experience in organizational development through the use of narratives will be presented. A thinking in action approach to practical reasoning will be contrasted with reflective practice. Distinctions between techne and phronesis as originally explicated by Aristotle will be revisited.
