In Organizational development (OD), learning is a characteristic of an adaptive organization, i.e., an organization that is able to sense changes in signals from its environment (both internal and external) and adapt accordingly.

OD specialists endeavor to assist their clients to learn from experience and incorporate the learning as feedback into the planning process.
