"There are no consolations in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The anguish may be mitigated by good nursing care, support groups, and the closeness of friends and family, but in the end it will be necessary for patient and loved ones together to walk through that very tortuous valley of the shadow, in the course of which everything changes forever. There is no dignity in this kind of death. It is an arbitrary act of nature and an affront to the humanity of its victims. If there is wisdom to be found, it must be in the knowledge that human beings are capable of the kind of love and loyalty that transcends not only the physical debasement but even the spiritual weariness of the years of sorrow."

--From HOW WE DIE (1993) by Sherwin B. Nuland #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth
A runaway bestseller and National Book Award winner, Sherwin Nuland’s How We Die has become the definitive text on perhaps the single most universal human concern: death. This new edition includes an all-embracing and incisive afterword that examines the current state of health care and our relationship with life as it approaches its terminus. It also discusses how we can take control of our own final days and those of our loved ones.

death hath ten thousand several doors men to take their exits. — John Webster, The Duchess of Malfi, 1612
To:組織學習論壇先進 (1998年8月4日,CPC主辦) 1998年7月24日
主題:「組織學習的一些資訊」
說明: 我代表華人戴明學院(網址 www.deming.com.tw,上網會有收獲!)與各位先進分享點資訊,盡點義務,做點交流,廣告一番。這裡談的組織學習當然不只是《第五項修練》。有些好消息,也有些挑戰。
首先,我們去年出版 Innovational Associates (彼得.聖吉為重要成員的顧問公司《加速度組織》,市面流通約二千本。這本優缺點互見,不過值得參考一下。
另外,鄙人在「戴明年會」上寫篇整合"Human Dynamics"與《戴明修練Ⅱ》融會貫通的論文。
今年出版的《精實系革命(Lean Thinking)》中有反「學習型組織」的批評,把它視為
「知識上的MRP,大而無當!」這也許反映出日本JIT∕現場人員對《第五項修練》
的「偏見」。請注意,我為該書弄個「精」「實」「系統」的用心。該派自成-Lean Enterprise系統!有個議題供大家思考:為何《第五項修練》沒日譯本?為何《創新求勝》等書非議「學習型組織」?日本的改善傳統與學習型組織的關係,應進一步深入探討。
我們年底要出版的The Leader Handbook by Peter R.Scholtes, 該書序言由 Rusell L.Ackoff 教授所作,他們一貫的主張為系統思考(戴明的系統觀,非系統動力學式的)自然是廿一世紀領導者必備的修練。
我們年底或明年初也會出版本世紀最有影響力的Herbert Simon(司馬賀)的"管理行為"──這是他1978年諾貝爾經濟獎得獎作品最新版。他在1940年代第一版中首鑄「組織學習」,第四版(1996)中有一節「從有限理性談組織學習」。他推薦一本較採平的論文選:Organizational Learning edited by M.D Cohen和L.S.Sproull,Sage,1996。這本書為我們下年學習的重點。
在課程開發上,我在五月試過以《加速度組織》為主,新設一《十倍速學習型組織》,這是八O年代世界級公司的學習∕改善策略之應用。
我們的一些議題∕專案
去年我們就「合作學習」作了二篇報告(蔡士魁先生的文章在網址上可找到我的〈從幼稚園到研究所的合作學習〉下月在網站發表)。今年下半年,擬在中原大學的通識課程中介紹戴明哲學、五項修練、採合作學習方式(基本上以品管圈模式),從閱讀和遊戲中學習。
我們也打算就"Learning by Doing and Innovation"做更深入的研究(含極少樣本的學習)。
另一主題為"學習、習慣、改善、進化與組織的關係"。
建議:我第一次第(或第二次,若含上次"年會")參加貴研究小組,不妨給大家一嚴素肅主題:為何:為何不組個協會(學會),平行於Society for Organizational Learning 呢?這是我們合作練習-運作-組織的機會。在台灣,有這種「產官學及一般群眾」基礎的「小集團」不容易。如何才是可大可久之道呢?
