Viable systems diagnosis and organisational learning

This paper identifies the importance of organisational viability within the Australian Not For Profit sector. Organisational Learning is promoted as a conscious viability strategy. Progress by a practitioner/scholar implementing Viable Systems Diagnosis as a framework for embedding adaptive strategies engendering Organisational Learning is reviewed. Typical of Action Research seeking improvement and involvement through active participation, the specific case study indicates Organisational Learning amelioration and an embryonic relationship of Organisational Learning to positive performance outcomes.
