This study utilises organizational learning theory to understand how learning can influence inductive military change in peacetime. Attributes such as lead-ership and organizational culture in conjunction with learning- and dissemi-nation mechanisms can either hinder or enhance learning effectiveness and change. Through interviews conducted with Swedish navy personnel during spring of 2023 the study brings further knowledge to the field of military innovation. The results show the challenges for a military organisation to hold on to learn-ing because of cutbacks and established peacetime processes. Individuals drive change rather than the organisational structure itself. This study also illustrates how leadership affects learning in both a positive and negative way.
