The delusion of working from experience

'the most powerful learning comes from direct experience .... Through taking an action and seeing the consequences of that action; then taking a new and different action. But what happens when we can no longer observe the consequences of our actions? .... We each have a 'learning horizon,' a breath of vision in time and space within which we assess our effectiveness. When our actions have consequences beyond that horizon, it becomes impossible to learn from direct experience.'
P23 senge the 5th discipline The system we are buried in does not and cannot give us the feedback we need.

This also has a connection with staff trying to improve teaching, the effects remain hidden.
