Abstract
This developmental paper explores the idea that organizational learning in public sector settings is facilitated by localised project identities and inhibited by interventionist bureaucratic reforms. Drawing on a 7-year longitudinal study, the paper shows the organizational integration of previously separate health and social care services was predicated on the ability to cross previously rigid and impermeable institutional, professional and organizational divides. Whilst our findings suggest that organizational learning was predicated on close interaction between key personnel from two provider organizations, we also found that organizational learning was adversely affected by shifting policy priorities and by the power asymmetries that inhered in the broader institutional ecosystem of the NHS.
