The Learning Institution
Book 2 – Institutional Cognition series
What does it mean for an institution to learn? Governments, public agencies, companies, universities and international organisations constantly accumulate experience, preserve records, evaluate outcomes and reform their practices, yet none of these activities guarantees that genuine institutional learning has taken place. The Learning Institution, the second volume in the IDHUS Institutional Cognition series, explores how experience can travel through complex organisations, become institutional memory, return as feedback, acquire meaning through interpretation and ultimately produce persistent changes in the structures through which institutions perceive, decide and act.

The Thinking Institution
Book 1 – Institutional Cognition series
What does it mean to say that an institution knows, remembers, interprets or makes judgements when no single individual possesses everything the institution appears capable of knowing? The Thinking Institution, the first volume of the Institutional Cognition Series, begins with this deceptively simple question and develops a progressive exploration of how knowledge, memory, interpretation and judgement can become distributed across people, procedures, representations and technologies while remaining available beyond the individuals who participate in them at any particular moment.
