What is SoL ?
Sol is a world wide network of companies, institutions, consultants and researchers having a shared interest for the improvement of organisations. For SoL members, the key improvement factor is the organisation’s capability for developing a collective learning dynamic which will favour its adaptation to an increasingly complex environment, in a world threatened by increasing financial, economic, social and ecological instability.
SoL was founded in 1997 by Peter Senge, author of “The Fifth Discipline”, based on his research at MIT, and by Arie de Geus, former executive at Shell and author of “The Living Company”.
Based in the United States, SoL is present in over 30 countries, including many European countries, China, india, Brazil, Australia. Among its US members : AT&T, Boeing, Ford, Harley-Davidson, Nissan, Sanofi, Unilever, The World Bank.
The results of the SoL community’s research work are published in the SoL Journal “Reflections”.
