How to Thrive (or Fail) in Building a Learning Culture
A Leader’s Guide
As Enterprise Technology Leaders, we all know that when faced with the demands and time pressures of modern day business, one of the first things that falls by the wayside is our ability (both individually and collectively) to learn about new technologies, methodologies or processes but as the authors of this paper correctly state, paradoxically, it is exactly that learning that will give us the insight into the next step in the competitive evolution of the business. This paper contains clear guidelines for creating and maintaining a learning culture along with real life case studies that can be used immediately to direct the learning culture in your business.
Leaders in today’s age of digital and AI are challenged by accelerating disruption to their existing customers, markets, and technology. To survive and thrive, leaders must foster a learning culture by finding ways to leverage and integrate knowledge, experience, and creativity across their workforce, supply chain, and the broader ecosystem.
Creating a learning culture is hard. We cringe when we hear horror stories, and we celebrate success stories. There is much to learn from both! This paper assembles patterns of behavior often found in learning organizations. For each pattern, we identify a key principle, illustrate it with stories of it being transgressed and stories of it being adhered to, and give specific actions you can apply tomorrow. Each learning pattern is independent from other patterns, allowing leaders to understand and apply them separately or in small groups, depending on their needs.
