We must... become adept at learning. We must become able not only to transform our institutions, in response to changing situations and requirements; we must invent and develop institutions and societies that are "learning systems," that is to say, systems capable of bringing about their own continuing transformation.- Donald A. Schon, Beyond the Stable State (1971) p. 30;
