dc.description This interpretive case study is an attempt to gain insight into the operation of a successful organization working within the new knowledge-based society, with a view to increasing the efficacy of educational interventions targeted at ordinary knowledge workers.Q, the organization that is the subject of the study, has shown remarkable 20 percent growth over the past five years. But what particularly caught my attention was Q's aspiration of becoming a learning organization. Since this was an aspiration with some history in the organization, it was reasonable to suppose that progress made toward becoming a learning organization would in some sense underlie or be associated with Q's success. It is rather like squaring the circle. Since both the circle and the square are in the plane geometric domain, it seems reasonable that there should be some way of correlating a change in radius with a change in length of the sides.
