Three Elements of a Learning Organization

Three Elements of a Learning Organization:

The other day we were discussing how can we build an
environment where everyone in the organization will continuously learn from
each other.

I feel there are three key elements to build a learning
organization.

  1. Technology:
    This in my view is relatively the easiest component to set up. While it is the
    easiest, care must be taken to ensure that the technology solution chosen is easy
    to use and flexible enough to change with the times. It also helps if there is
    one common platform across the different departments of the organization.

  2. Framework: By
    this I mean a process framework that makes it easier to share and learn. These
    could include defined project wash-up meetings, periodic forums that invite
    people to share what’s happening in their area of work, or defined networking
    groups that allow

  3. Culture: The
    most critical element of a learning organization and perhaps the hardest to
    build. The culture of sharing is where people share without fear, where the
    greatest reward for sharing is more sharing by others.
