As the Mad-Hatter said to Alice (in Alice in Wonderland), "if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." With or without the Mad-Hatter we know the basic truth of this statement. Even without such a strategy, organizations though haven't stood still. They have spent monies, allocated resources, and invested time. However, without a clear and defined organizational learning strategy, organizations find themselves spending too much time, money and resources to get too little result. Significant investments in learning technologies are wasted. Prepared and motivated learning professionals are under-utilized. The workforce is left under-prepared and supported. And, as a result the organization is unable to fulfill it's promise to customers and shareholders, clients and supporters. This is truly an example of the 'ready-fire-aim' syndrome.
