Supporting the Change to Digitalized Production Environments Through Learning Organization Development

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Impact of Digitalization in the Workplace

Part of the book series: Professional and Practice-based Learning ((PPBL,volume 21))

Abstract

The digitalization of industrial environments results in autonomously acting production systems. The question if and where humans can be a part of this new industrial environment has yet to be answered. Since the process to a fully digitalized industry is not yet finished, several possible scenarios of human-machine production environments are being discussed. All these scenarios result in systems with more capabilities that require humans to either control those systems or be controlled by them. The change process is inevitable and has to be organized in a way that supports technological advancement as well as human integration. This article tries to determine whether the concept of a learning organization that has a strong learning culture can help to foster the change to a digitalized industrial environment without restraining human control competencies over the production system.
