Double-loop learning occurs when we question the values, assumptions and recipes-for-success that we typically apply to a situation. This type of paradigm-shift is essential when the business environment, or the context of work changes.
Typically, we learn how to do something well and we keep on applying that recipe-for-success. It is called expertise. We are proud of the knowledge and experience that led to our becoming an expert and so we tend not to question this. But when things change, expertise can become a handicap.
