Project Start Date August 1993


The Society for Organizational Learning, North America is an intentional learning community composed of organizations, individuals, and communities around the world. A not-for-profit, member-governed corporation, SoL North America is devoted to the interdependent development of people and their institutions in service of inspired performance and meaningful results. SoL North America serves as a space in which individuals and institutions can create together that which they cannot create alone.

The purpose is to discover, integrate, and implement theories and practices of organizational learning for the interdependent development of people and their institutions and communities such that we continue to increase our capacity to collectively realize our highest aspirations and productively resolve our differences. With this intention, organizations are truly worthy of the commitment of their employees and communities.
