Abstract: Organisational Learning (OL), Learning Organisation (LO) and Knowledge Management (KM) have evolved as largely separate fields with little effort to integrate them. In this article, an attempt is made to discuss the linkage of OL, LO and KM at the process level. The linkage is perceived to be at the individual, group, and organisational levels of learning. To meaningfully discuss the linkage, the impact of Crossan et al.'s (1999) 4I model (i.e., intuition, interpretation, integration, and institutionalisation) and Senge's (1990) five disciplines (i.e., mental model, personal mastery, team learning, shared vision and systems thinking), on Nonaka's (1994) knowledge creating spiral, is discussed. Specifically, how the learning processes and the five disciplines, impact the knowledge creating spiral, is theorised.
