The Necessary Revolution is a book about the end of The Industrial Age Bubble the take, make, waste way of thinking that has dominated the developed world for the past 200 years. It is also a book about a new era emerging in which companies are beginning to recognise the larger systems in which they operate (environmental, social, and economic) and integrate these into their core strategies. Imagine a world in which the excess energy from one business would be used to heat another. A world in which environmentally sound products and processes would be more cost effective than wasteful ones. A world in which corporations like BP, Nike, Coca-Cola, and countless others are forming partnerships with environmental and social justice NGOs to ensure better stewardship of the earth and better livelihoods in the developing world. Now, stop imagining that world is already emerging. We must act together now.

"Considerado pelo Financial Times um dos cinco maiores livros de negócios de todos os tempos, este livro apresenta técnicas imprescindíveis para uma organização empresarial de sucesso. Em uma época na qual as decisões eram centralizadas nos gerentes e o planejamento era feito a curto prazo, Senge derrubou o tabu do trabalho em equipe e disseminou novos padrões de pensamento no meio corporativo. Publicado pela primeira vez em 1990, o autor escreveu seis novos capítulos a partir de exemplos práticos da implantação de seus argumentos. Empresas como Unilever e Banco Mundial utilizaram as estratégias da “organização que aprende” para eliminar as deficiências de comunicação e aprendizagem que limitavam o crescimento futuro. A quinta disciplina definiu o novo papel dos líderes em uma estrutura de trabalho descentralizadora. O livro traz programas de aprendizagem baseados em cinco importantes “disciplinas”: domínio pessoal, modelos mentais, visão compartilhada, aprendizagem em equipe e pensamento sistêmico. Segundo Senge, é vital que todas as disciplinas se desenvolvam em conjunto. “Por isso o pensamento sistêmico é a quinta disciplina, aquela que integra as outras, fundindo-as em um corpo coerente de teoria e prática. Ampliando cada uma das disciplinas, o pensamento sistêmico nos lembra continuamente que a soma das partes pode exceder o todo”, afirma o autor.

Nouvelle édition d’un classique du management dans lequel Peter Senge développe l’idée suivante : pour toute organisation, l’avantage concurrentiel durable se trouve dans la capacité à apprendre plus vite que la concurrence. Cela passe par la maîtrise de cinq disciplines complémentaires La maîtrise personnelle : clarifier notre approche de la réalité. Les modèles mentaux : apprendre à nous défaire de nos préjugés. La vision partagée : savoir relier des individus ensemble. L’apprenance en équipe : favoriser la réflexion collective par le dialogue. La pensée systémique : voir tes problèmes dans leur ensemble. C’est ta cinquième discipline, le levier conceptuel sur lequel se fondent les quatre autres.

Schools that Learn

Presence: Exploring Profound Change in People, Organisations and Society gives the reader an intimate look at the development of a new theory about change and learning. In wide-ranging conversations held over a year and a half, Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski and Flowers explore their own experiences and those of one hundred and fifty scientists and social and business entrepreneurs in an effort to explain how profound collective change occurs. Their journey of discovery articulates a new way of seeing the world, and of understanding our part in creating it - as it is and as it might be. Radical and hopeful - Presence synthesises leading-edge thinking, first-hand knowledge and ancient wisdom to explore the living fields that connect us to one another, to life more broadly, and, potentially, to what is 'seeking to emerge'. Seven capacities underlie out ability to see, sense, and realise new possibilities. Developing these capacities accesses a deeper level of learning that is the key to creating change that serves the whole - ourselves, our organisations, and the communities of which we are a part.

Exploring Profound Change in People, Organizations and Society

Since the Fifth Discipline principles were defined they have been used by many educators. Now Peter Senge and the Fifth Discipline team have produced Schools that Learn, focusing specifically on schools and education, which can help reclaim schools even in the most depressed or ill-mananged districts.

Since Peter Senge published his groundbreaking book The Fifth Discipline, he and his associates have frequently been asked by the business community: "How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change? How do we sustain momentum?" They know that companies and organizations cannot thrive today without learning to adapt their attitudes and practices. But companies that establish change initiatives discover, after initial success, that even the most promising efforts to transform or revitalize organizations—despite interest, resources, and compelling business results—can fail to sustain themselves over time. That's because organizations have complex, well-developed immune systems, aimed at preserving the status quo. Now, drawing upon new theories about leadership and the long-term success of change initiatives, and based upon twenty-five years of experience building learning organizations, the authors of The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook show how to accelerate success and avoid the obstacles that can stall momentum. The Dance of Change, written for managers and executives at every level of an organization, reveals how business leaders can work together to anticipate the challenges that profound change will ultimately force the organization to face. Then, in a down-to-earth and compellingly clear format, readers will learn how to build the personal and organizational capabilities needed to meet those challenges. These challenges are not imposed from the outside; they are the product of assumptions and practices that people take for granted—an inherent, natural part of the processes of change. And they can stop innovation cold, unless managers at all levels learn to anticipate them and recognize the hidden rewards in each challenge, and the potential to spur further growth. Within the frequently encountered challenge of "Not Enough Time," for example—the lack of control over time available for innovation and learning initiatives—lies a valuable opportunity to reframe the way people organize their workplaces. This book identifies universal challenges that organizations ultimately find themselves confronting, including the challenge of "Fear and Anxiety"; the need to diffuse learning across organizational boundaries; the ways in which assumptions built in to corporate measurement systems can handcuff learning initiatives; and the almost unavoidable misunderstandings between "true believers" and nonbelievers in a company. Filled with individual and team exercises, in-depth accounts of sustaining learning initiatives by managers and leaders in the field, and well-tested practical advice, The Dance of Change provides an insider's perspective on implementing learning and change initiatives at such corporations as British Petroleum, Chrysler, Dupont, Ford, General Electric, Harley-Davidson, Hewlett-Packard, Mitsubishi Electric, Royal DutchShell, Shell Oil Company, Toyota, the United States Army, and Xerox. It offers crucial advice for line-level managers, executive leaders, internal networkers, educators, and others who are struggling to put change initiatives into practice.
