Abstract
In an ideal world, learning from experience would be considered a natural and essential part of organizational life. In practice, the time needed for review and reflection is often traded out for what are felt to be more pressing priorities. In collaborative work, because of its evolutionary nature and the range of stakeholders involved, it is essential to build learning into the fabric of the collaborative process. Of course every human being learns from experience, and every member of a collaborative process will benefit on a personal level from the learning that he or she gains. The challenge, however, is to move beyond individual learning to learning for the collaborative team, and even further, to learning for the organizations involved.
