In non-profit organizations driven by a crowded marketplace for ideas, resources and information, learning occurs as a process of creating new knowledge and understanding amongst individuals and groups networked throughout an organization. In order to increase opportunities for organizational learning, and its impact on organizations and their ecosystem, non-profits intentionally design and facilitate networks for individuals to connect and learn together. This study explored how organizational learning occurs within intentional networks, impacting the individuals and their relationships with each other. Additionally, this research identified the various ways network dynamics engender learning, according to the perspectives of those within the networks. This qualitative case study utilized Organizational Learning and Network theoretical frameworks to guide the research's questions, methodology, analysis and findings. The study focused on a single non-profit, the School Network, whose mission was to serve a membership base of schools within a sector of the field of Jewish education. The four study participants represented three of the non-profit's network groups. At the time of the study, these groups had been in operation for less than one year, and each had been created by the School Network to serve a defined group of school leaders within its network of schools. Findings of the research study concluded that networks formed around small groups of individuals were able to enact organizational learning when the networks addressed the individuals' needs for connectivity and served their common interests. Participants in the network groups engaged in transactional relationships for their own individual growth and practice. As these network groups functioned as social networks, the knowledge transitioned from individual to organizational knowledge through sharing and collaboration. The commitment levels a non-profit needed to generate commitment from the network's participants depended on the trust participants had in each other and on the network's design and facilitation.
