Single-Loop Learning
Single-Loop Learning is a concept in organizational learning where individuals or groups focus on correcting errors and improving performance without questioning the underlying assumptions or goals. This type of learning emphasizes efficiency and problem-solving within existing frameworks, allowing for quick adjustments to achieve desired outcomes.
In contrast to Double-Loop Learning, which challenges the fundamental beliefs and strategies, Single-Loop Learning tends to reinforce the status quo. It is often seen in environments where immediate results are prioritized, making it useful for routine tasks but potentially limiting innovation and deeper understanding of issues.
