Subject: Organizational Learning Issues

We are facing challenges when it comes to our surgeons adopting the new technology in the surgical environment of the hospital. From the research I conducted, most of the surgeons are failing to support this process because of the fear of being replaced by the machines and left jobless. Also, most of the surgeons have become comfortable with conducting all the surgical processes manually hence becoming reluctant to change. Most of them do not understand that the inclusion of technology is aimed at improving the efficiency of surgical procedures.

Organizational learning has not been incorporated in our culture and therefore this has made it difficult to leverage the new technology in our processes. The employees therefore feel that this process will be of waste of time because they are not used to being in a dynamic environment that is able to incorporate change. As an organization, we need to instill confidence and trust to the employees and show them that change is good because of the shifting market trends. They should not feel threated by technology because of fear of replacement. To install trust in the surgeons, the organization needs to show the employees that they are valued and that they are not replaceable.

The machines will only be introduced to improve the efficiency of the existing processes being performed by the employees. The management therefore should be honest and supportive and also build accountability in all the employees. This will help instill trust in the employees. The best OLM to be used in this situation is online and internal. This will be effective and also cost effective for the organization. To ensure that the organizational learning program is carried out nicely, I want to request for more time to continue with research and provide insights for smooth transition from a manual working environment to a technological one.

Yours Sincerely
