Applied Embodiment Towards Optimization Within the Organizational Ecosystem: The Evolution of Best Practices Through the Design and Implementation of Learning Laboratory Experience Modules

This capstone describes a culture change project which demonstrates the value of a learning organization, a concept first proposed by Argyris and Schön then expanded by Senge and others. Learning Laboratory Experience Modules (LLEM) were developed, implemented and evaluated in response to the lack of understanding by staff about policies and the important roles of personnel across departments. Providing staff with a safe and interactive forum to understand their own role within the organization allowed them to connect with peers and to appreciate the sometimes challenging work of other disciplines. This created opportunities for synergy, the foundation of an effective model of care.
