Check out this awesome presentation about integrating learning and work. This is precisely along the same lines as what Maddie and I talk about in Humanize. The fourth human element we talk about is Courageous. In creating a more courageous organization, the cultural aspect is “learning.” Learning needs to be baked in at the cultural level, and not just lip service to learning, where we send our people to a two-day training every one to five years. We mean learning all the time. We mean valuing failure and committing to experimentation. This image from the presentation really stuck out to me:
Work is learning and learning is the work. They are integrated.
