This document contains three papers from a symposium on learning organization practices. "Learning Lenses of Leading Organizations: Best Practices Survey" (Laurel S. Jeris) shows that successful learning organizations view learning initiatives through multiple lenses with a clear, sustained focus on strategic outcomes. "Dimensions of the Learning Organization in Family-Run Firms" (Karen E. Watkins, Gary L. Selden, Victoria J. Marsick) finds that learning organization characteristics significantly predict overall financial and knowledge organizational performance. In "Research as Development: Evaluating a Learning Organization Implementation" (Laura L. Bierema), the following significant evaluation issues emerged from a study at the Ford Motor Company: articulating and sustaining shared vision, defining and demonstrating performance in a learning organization, and cultivating learning at individual and collective levels.
