A new approach “Learning Model” which is helpful to strengthen the decision making process was developed by :
Bob Garratt
Option 2 — Bob Garratt is correct.
Bob Garratt is a management thinker best known for his work on the ‘learning organisation’ and on how boards and managers can learn continuously to make better decisions. He advanced the Learning Model, an approach in which individuals and organisations treat decision-making as a cyclical learning process — acting, reviewing the results, drawing lessons and feeding them back to improve future decisions.
By linking decision-making to continuous learning and reflection, Garratt’s model strengthens the quality and adaptability of the decision process, especially at the director/board level.
Why the other options are wrong: Arthur Rich is associated with business/economic ethics; Christian Wolff was an 18th-century rationalist philosopher; Lord (J.M.) Keynes was an economist known for macroeconomic theory. None of them is credited with this managerial ‘Learning Model’ for decision-making.
Takeaway: Bob Garratt’s Learning Model ties better decisions to continuous organisational learning.
