Lucinda is joined by Andy Lancaster, an expert in organisational learning communities. Andy shares insights from his book, "Organisational Learning Communities," discussing the importance of intentional community building for learning and development.

They explore the concept of socialised learning, the benefits of diverse communities, and the impact of storytelling in measuring success. Andy emphasises the power of altruism and the need for high trust cultures to foster effective learning communities.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Andy stresses the importance of having a cause at the centre of a learning community to drive engagement and purpose.
• We must recognise the concept of socialised learning communities being a natural way of learning, rooted in human behaviour and evolution.
• There is a crucial need for intentional design and facilitation of learning communities to ensure effectiveness and impact.
• We should embrace the value of diversity in learning communities to foster innovation, problem-solving, and shared expertise.

BEST MOMENTS

"Most communities that do really well have some kind of rhythm associated with them, where you know what's going to be going on so that you connect with it." 

"I think it's quite clear if you said at the start it was about engagement, impact." 

"For me, a learning community is a group connected and energized by a cause"
