Abstract

The growing focus on learning as being key to organisational success has raised the level of debate amongst practitioners and academics alike as to just what learning is. Consideration of spiritual ideologies offers the opportunity to reflect upon such areas as: complexity and connectivity, the meaning and purpose of work, individual identity and sensemaking, community and collaborative behaviour, dialogue, moral leadership and wisdom. Our spiritual capacity provides a deep foundation from which to explore and question our ontological assumptions. This paper locates the position of spirituality in the learning debate; examines the relationship between who we are, our being, with what we do, our doing; and implies that organisational performance can be improved by attendance to the spiritual richness of humanity.
