Digitalizing Training at the Enterprise Learning Circle

Premise

Economic, demographic, and technological changes are all contributing to the transformation of the workforce and workplace. Are you effectively leveraging digital technology and models to drive this transition at your organization? To get ahead of the curve, empower your people and drive change from the inside out.

Description

As we transition from an industrial age to digital, few of us work the same way now as the previous generation did. Workplaces are having a more diverse workforce demanding increasingly collaborative and flexible work environments. Learning and development can lead this transition.

Bring together key stakeholders to begin your ‘change’ journey. Get a hands-on experience of flipping traditional training to digitally-facilitated learning. Our intervention combines digital synchronous onsite and digital asynchronous online delivery modes.

After on boarding and completing pre-work, we set out to contextualize your organizational learning challenges and opportunities. And subsequently, research solutions and map out an action plan. The key success factor is in garnering collective intelligence by articulating your opinion and ideating along with your stakeholders.

Learning circles are an effective framework for Digital Organization Development. Learning circles owe its origin to Study Circles from Sweden. Some of the core principles include equality of participants, facilitated learning not training, a collaborative and not competitive environment and balancing knowledge acquisition with social communication.
