Nigel Paine, MD, Nigel Paine.Com
Learning culture is a phrase bandied about regularly with out any agreed definition or criteria. What this means is that the phrase becomes meaningless. You have a learning culture if you say you have one. That is not helpful and there are good reasons for being a little more precise. So let’s change the anomaly and have a great conversation about what it is and it is important and it is a game changer for those organisations willing to go beyond sloganizing. Thiis webinar will talk abut learning cultures in organisations, try to clarify what that means and illustrate some of the key benefits. And how you can build a learning culture that endures and adds value
- Let’s get exciting about the potential of a learning culture
- We will find out what it is
- We will work out the steps needed to build one that endures
- We will look at some organisations that have built one and discover what it has done for them
- We will talk abut some of the blockers and inhibitors that stop learning cultures developing
