Computational Modelling of the Role of Leadership Style for Its Context-Sensitive Control Over Multilevel Organisational Learning

This paper addresses formalisation and computational modelling of context-sensitive control over multilevel organisational learning and in particular the role of the leadership style in influencing feed forward learning flows. It addresses a realistic case study with focus on the role of managers for control of multilevel organisational learning...

Using Self-modeling Networks to Model Organisational Learning

Within organisational learning literature, mental models are considered a vehicle for both individual learning and organisational learning. By learning individual mental models (and making them explicit), a basis for formation of shared mental models for the level of the organisation is created, which after its formation can then be adopted by...

A Controlled Adaptive Self-modeling Network Model of Multilevel Organisational Learning for Individuals, Teams or Projects, and Organisation

Multilevel organisational learning concerns an interplay of different types of learning at individual, team, and organisational levels. These processes use complex dynamic and adaptive mechanisms. A second-order adaptive network model for this is introduced here and illustrated.

Equilibrium analysis for linear and nonlinear aggregation in network models: applied to mental model aggregation in multilevel organisational learning

In this paper, equilibrium analysis for network models is addressed and applied in particular to a network model of multilevel organisational learning. The equilibrium analysis addresses properties of aggregation characteristics and connectivity characteristics of a network. For aggregation characteristics, it is shown how certain classes of...

Multilevel organisational learning in a project-based organisation: Computational analysis based on a 3^rd-order adaptive network model

This paper describes how the recently developed self-modeling network modeling approach for multilevel organisational learning has been tested on applicability for a real-world case of a project-based organisation. The modeling approach was able to successfully address this complex case by designing a third-order adaptive network model. Doing...

Computational Modeling of Organisational Learning by Self-Modeling Networks

Within organisational learning literature, mental models are considered a vehicle for both individual learning and organizational learning. By learning individual mental models (and making them explicit), a basis for formation of shared mental models for the level of the organization is created, which after its formation can then be adopted by...

The embedding of the construction client role in dutch municipalities and its effects on professionalism and organisational learning

Municipalities account for a considerable share in the total production of construction work in the Netherlands. Through their commissioning role, public entities can act as a ‘launching customer’ for innovation. New procurement schemes have been and are being installed to improve quality and productivity, reduce risks and enhance sustainability...

Contradictions in Project Based Learning: A Qualitative Study of Three City Development Projects

In complex product system industries such as construction, innovation and explorative intra-project learning are critical aspects for developing and delivering complex and customized products. Some research has, however, demonstrated that it is difficult to utilize learning from development projects in the permanent organisation. Hence, the...

Privatisation and institutionalisation of organisational learning in urban development pilots

The initiation of ‘pilots’ in urban development is often a result of changing contextual circumstances like economic market conditions or new planning legislation requiring other solutions. Pilots require actors to innovate in terms of designing plans, handling planning procedures, managing development processes, and constructing real estate....

Building A Safety Management System For Infectious Disease Outbreak Control In the Netherlands: An Exploratory Study

This thesis explores to build a Safety Management System for infectious disease outbreak control in the Netherlands. Q-fever and Salmonella were two major disease outbreaks in the past decade. The outbreak management were criticised for ineffective implementation of control measures, and the magnitude of the outbreaks increased by years....

Organised Learning from Small-scale Incidents

This thesis describes the search for and findings about methods and mechanisms that help organisations to learn cost-effectively from (small-scale) accidents and other undesired operational surprises. As it shows, organisational learning from such incidents is feasible, but must be organised. The Organisational Learning principles were used to...
