Measuring Organizational Learning: A Preliminary Progress Report
Abstract
The goal of this research effort was to develop observer-based measures of organization learning and then apply the measures to assess how a Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) cognitively prepares for combat. The research team adopted a measurement approach based on what is called the Tactical Problem Solving Process (TPSP), rather than the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP), as TPSP better reflects how brigades currently conduct the planning process during exercises. During Phase 1, a set of preliminary measures were developed to assess: Leader Initiative, Command Approach, and Understanding Command Intent. At the contractor's request, the Phase II assessment was not conducted. This report, therefore, documents the preliminary but potentially useful progress made on measuring organization learning.
