Abstract
The study sought to examine how public tertiary educational institutions in Ghana can make use of organizational learning in order to improve upon their performance. Although organizational learning has proven to be beneficial to some organizations, it is not being utilized by public tertiary educational institutions in Ghana. The phenomenological research methodology was used to describe the experiences of the researcher in relation to the subject. Secondary data was also reviewed and analysed. The study concluded that for public tertiary educational institutions in Ghana to benefit from organizational learning, they must fully embrace Information Communication Technology while appointing leaders who understand the need to adopt organizational learning as a means of encouraging teamwork.

Summary
According Stata (1989) Organisational learning is when knowledge is acquired through brainstorming, experiments and observation in order to find a solution to a problem. Organizational learning is seen as a system of developing new ideas about a particular subject and applying the experience acquired to similar situations whenever the need arises (Kane and Alavi, 2007). Continuous learning is required for organisations to survive and become competitive in a fast changing technological world (Nonaka & Takeuchi, 1995). Organizations learn whenever they encounter problems and are able to find solutions to them through the marshaling of the scarce resources at their disposal such that if a similar one is faced in future it can apply that knowhow to solve it
