An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.

I like the vigor model of the knowledge club that selects group of business professionals who have dedicated their professional life to continuous learning. Through the knowledge club, meeting and interacting with world sought leaders is one of the best ways to continue to develop either individually or professionally and to take their organizations to even higher levels
