Is a Learning Culture essential if an organisation is to realise the potential of its people or is it, perhaps, a false nirvana? In this episode, it is explored when and how it becomes possible to develop a Learning Culture, we bust some myths around it and seek to empower L&D to begin it’s progression right now rather than wait for the perfect conditions - because those will never arrive.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A learning culture has tended to mean that companies believe their learning departments or content is adequate. However, these are merely provisions.
• A learning culture is the point at where people can access learning at any time with no barriers to entry, and where access is encouraged.
• Before we develop a learning culture, it's essential to switch the conversation from learning performance and results, and not delaying the progress by thinking we have to change the culture first.
• No CEO will ever lose sleep over how many people have not completed courses. We need to be using measurements and metrics that business managers understand.

BEST MOMENTS

'It is literally the lifeblood of the company'

'That is not a learning culture - that is a provision'

'I believe there is so much more than people completing courses and happy sheets'

'We're seeing much more of a "need to have" than a "nice to have"'
