Argyris Double-Loop Learning for Auditors
What does Argyris Double-Loop Learning require of a Auditor?
Chris Argyris's theory of organizational learning distinguishing between single-loop learning (correcting errors within existing frameworks) and double-loop learning (questioning and modifying underlying assumptions, values, and policies). Under Argyris Double-Loop Learning, which defines 20 controls, a Auditor's work is deciding which controls you own outright, which you share and which belong to another team, then holding the evidence for the first group.
