Becoming a learning organization is important for success in the twenty-first century. Organizations that improve knowledge management will have an advantage over slower-learning competitors. However, many organizations are unaware of their learning capacities or how to increase their potential. If they are familiar with the learning organization concept, they often only focus on a few elements.

The Learning Organization Profile is a comprehensive instrument that assesses the five key components of a learning organization: learning dynamics, organizational transformation, people empowerment, knowledge management, and technology application. It has been utilized by numerous organizations worldwide to evaluate their status as learning organizations and to receive guidance on further development.

The completion of the Profile is recommended for a wide range of employees to gather a representative sample. It is beneficial for senior management to have a basic understanding of the principles of a learning organization, as it showcases their dedication to transforming the company. The Learning Organization Profile can be administered in a group setting or through individual completion of the instruments followed by their return.
