Research has highlighted that the implementation of learning based systems development is a complex issue as it requires the input of employees in all the levels of an organization.However, to obtain this is a challenge for organizations as the basic training and education offered by organizations and experiences on their own and other factors such as fear and ignorance prevent such actions.For this purpose, other elements are also required.This research aims to identify and explain the usage of the elements that can encourage employees to contribute inputs necessary for learning- based systems development.To achieve this aim, this research developed a conceptual framework based on the concepts of meta- abilities and tacit knowledge externalization and sharing.The framework is tested using a case study in Malaysia. It is concluded that the future focus the management of information in organizational learning (OL) should be towards the development of an individual’s meta-abilities and creating a suitable organizational culture and infrastructure such that knowledge sharing is promoted.
