Development and Validation of the U.S. Army Learning Organization Maturity Model
Abstract
This research was the first step towards developing a U.S. Army Learning Organization Capability that will collectively consist of a tailored definition of learning organization specific to the Army context, an Army Learning Organization Maturity Model (ALOMM), an assessment (ALOA) for leaders to measure their organizations learning maturity, and resources to develop maturity as a learning organization based on assessment results. The objective of this first phase of research was to develop an ALOMM that describes what U.S. Army Learning Organizations (LOs) look like, and what they do. The research began with a comprehensive review of academic literature as well as relevant military doctrine and publications that informed the development of the initial ALOMM. The ALOMM was subsequently validated and refined through an iterative process comprising interviews with senior U.S. Army leaders, a workshop with stakeholders and subject matter experts, and a content validation survey. Research findings suggest the ALOMM provides a valid characterization of what a learning organization looks like inside the U.S. Army.
