Supercharge your growth with double-loop learning

 Double loop versus single loop learning. Hello everyone. I’m back again. So this is a concept within organizational theory. Double-loop learning is questioning the fundamentals of the way you go about doing something in your business. Single-loop learning is just tweaking the systems that currently exist to optimize.

What I mean by that. And here’s a simple example. Is say, you’re baking a cake. Single loop learning would be adjusting the temperature, maybe the timing that the cake is in the oven. Double loop learning would be questioning the entire fundamentals of how and why you are making the cake. So say maybe you use a microwave instead or say you cook it over an open flame, or say you don’t even use a pan.

Literally questioning the structure of the way that things have been done. Burst principle reasoning is another similar example of the concept. So maybe one of the ways that you would incorporate this is thinking about instead of maybe we should adjust the pricing for our customer. Are you targeting the right customer base?

Is the way that you’re positioning the product accurate? Is the way that it’s being fulfilled the right way for your business to be operating? Are you even in the right industry? I’d love to hear, and I’d love to know how you all are incorporating single-loop versus double-loop learning into your businesses.

And I hope that this can be helpful in improving the ecosystem.
