Ford Motor Company as an Internal Learning Organization. Inside the company, Ford uses the classic six pillars of a learning organization (Personal Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Vision, Team Learning, Systems Thinking, and Open Communication) to adapt to rapid changes in the auto and tech industries. Maybe we should challenge existing mental models and embrace the softer side of recalls and product quality?

@OP It's still around. I drive by the Ford Learnig Center all the time.🤣🤪
@OP Only the truly clueless and ignorant believe a 6 or 12 pillared/legged c stool would be more stable than a 3-legged one. Kind of like vehicle options. The things that are in a system the more likely something will destabilize. DUH.
