As the world is becoming more complex and unpredictable, flexibily and continous learning are essential.

Schein in (Organizational Culture and Leadership) lists some of the assumptions of a learning culture in an organization:

• The world can be managed
• It is appropriate for humans to be proactive problem solvers
• Reality and truth must be pragmatically discovered
• Human nature is basically good and in any case mutable
• The best kind of time horizon is somewhere between far and near future
• The best kinds of units of time are medium-length ones
• Accurate and relevant information must be capable of flowing freely in a fully connected network
• Diverse but connected units are desiderable
