Abstract

Riding on his Total Learning Organisation (TLO), an ice-breaking paper published in The Learning Organisation, Ho (1999) has a chance to test out the model in a number of firms in HKSAR, China and Malaysia, based on his proprietary 5-S Practice, which he developed in Malaysia/HK/UK/China since the 1990s. Supported by various government bodies, Ho (2012) has used his 50-point 5-S Checklist for training and consultancy in no less than 10 countries with over 50,000 persons from over 1,000 organisations worldwide. From his observation and experience, in this chapter a powerful learning model for innovation in organizations is developed through what he defined in 1999 as the TLO. One significant finding is that in order to ensure effective knowledge transfer and organizational development, organisations should consider using a simple and useful tool such as the 5-S Practice as a seed to encourage learning and innovation. His practical experience is also shared in this chapter.
