How to Inspire a Culture of Learning
Organisations that value learning will outperform those that don’t. Or, at least, that’s what many people believe. At Wranx, we’re of the opinion that all organisations have some culture of learning, but that few can truly lay claim to a culture of learning that’s intertwined with the very fabric of the organisation. This is what it’s all about; inspiring a culture of learning from the employment process to executive roles. Corporations, SMEs, start-ups, sales directors, managers, and decision makers should start by asking themselves “How can I increase my organisation’s ability to learn”. This is a very important question that needs answering, for modern organisations have a duty to train a workforce and a need to do so, because an organisation’s culture is the one thing that stands between an organisation’s results. To inspire a culture of learning within your organisation, you need to understand how you can improve learning within your organisation, and you need to understand the habits of highly developed learning and development professionals. Understanding how people learn, and what the tools are that people need to learn with, are the first steps toward inspiring a culture of learning. When it comes to creating a learning culture,
Continuous Learning is the Goal of 70:20:10
The 70:20:10 model for learning and development originates from research carried out in the 1980s. In the 1994 book Career Architect Development Planner, data from a Centre for Creative Leadership (CCL) study was published which revealed that the lessons learned by effective managers are 70% from tough jobs, 20% from people, and 10% from courses and reading. The percentages within this study are the reason behind the 70:20:10 name. “The 70:20:10 framework is fast becoming the preferred strategy to improve workplace performance.” says Charles Jennings, Duntroon Associates and founder of the 70:20:10 Forum. “It is applicable across all sectors and organisations, regardless of size, because of its holistic and agile nature. ” Regardless of whether the 70:20:10 framework becomes the preferred strategy for learning as Jennings says, though, it is still a sound concept and one that any organisation can employ. [gap height=”20″] Continuous Learning is the goal of 70:20:10 As Jennings says in one of his blog posts, most people get it with continuous learning, but some don’t. Classes, webinars, courses, and other structured learning events are simply cogs in a wheel in a much larger world of learning and development. The roles of direct and structured learning can and
A Culture of Learning Thrives on Innovation
Even though every business longs for highly motivated employees that possess a desire to learn, develop and grow, it is usually very difficult to achieve. But if you manage to introduce and administer a culture of learning, this dream scenario could become a reality. This kind of transition doesn’t just happen overnight though and will require plenty of hard work. However if you manage to recognise the importance of developing a culture of learning as well as overcome and put into practice the challenge and methods required for implementation, favourable results are a distinct possibility.[gap height=”20″] The importance of innovation with a learning culture An individual or organisation needs to learn a fair amount of knowledge to come up with new ideas that benefits the business or customer. And by its very nature, innovation is creating novel or unique concepts and theories that nobody else has conceived. Therefore the two go hand-in-hand and any business looking to develop learning culture based on innovation needs to recognise this. In order to keep your employees’ creative brains ticking, continuous teaching and tuition is required. If this doesn’t happen, there is a good chance members of staff will become disillusioned with their roles
Non-Invasive Continual Assessment
As we all know, training is a vitally important part of any business. Employees can learn new skills, acquire different expertise and progress in their careers. As a result of this personal development, they can carry out their roles and responsibilities a lot more effectively and efficiently, which enhances a business’ daily operations. Even though a fair amount of time, money and effort is required to implement training programs, organisations need to think about the long-term benefits. Profits might not increase overnight, but a highly skilled workforce that is better equipped to meet company objectives and consumer requirements can be a priceless asset. However, existing learning systems have several flaws and faults, especially when it comes to retaining and reciting information that has been learnt on courses or programs. Therefore, more and more businesses are looking at alternative ways to teach and test employees. One of the most prominent and powerful techniques is continual assessment. [gap height=”20″] What is continual assessment? Often used in schools and higher education institutions, continual assessment is when a student is evaluated and tested on a daily or fixed interval basis, instead of at the end of their teaching experience. The advantage of this examination method
