Double-loop learning (DLL) (coined by Chris Argyris) is the modification or rejection of a goal in the light of experience. DLL recognises that the way problems are defined and solved and can be a source of the problem.[1]
"Single-loop learning" is the repeated attempt at the same problem, with no variation of method and without ever questioning the goal.
