Building a culture of continuous learning: what it means : Modern Workplace Learning Magazine

We hear a lot about continuous studying. But what does it actually imply?

It doesn’t imply constantly taking programs – though learning might be half of a person’s private {and professional} continuous studying technique.

It doesn’t imply constantly coaching folks – though coaching might be half of of an organisation’s continuous L&D technique.

It means everybody continuously buying new information and abilities in many various methods –  each deliberate and unplanned, formal and casual, at work and outdoors work.

Continuous studying due to this fact requires a new organisational studying mindset – one the place LEARNING is just not outlined purely as a conventional coaching/instructional exercise, however in phrases of the four D’s:  DIDACTICS (being taught); DISCOVERY (discovering out for oneself), DISCOURSE (interacting with others) and DOING (having experiences).

Continuous studying due to this fact requires a new organisational studying culture, the place

• people take accountability for their very own continuous self-improvement, studying and improvement to remain related of their jobs – and never depend on being spoon fed by their organisations
• the place managers take (far more) accountability for the expansion and improvement of their folks of their day by day working lives – and never simply move this off to their L&D division
• the place L&D groups construct, allow and help this new organisational studying culture – in any case they’ll not present all the things everybody must do their job and put together them and the organisation for the longer term – and in doing so set up a new relationship with the enterprise.
