Notes for assembly: "The ability to learn faster than competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage." Yet: "Institutional learning is much more difficult than individual learning.... Because people change their own mental models and build up a joint model as they talk. The problem is the speed of the process is slow." -- "Planning as Learning," by Arie de Geus of Royal Dutch Shell Group Planning -- creators of scenario planning -- in The Harvard Business Review, March, 1988.
