Course details

‘‘The ability to learn faster than your competitors may be the only sustainable competitive advantage,’’ Arie De Geus, author and consultant.

Introduction

Like trainees, training specialists are not a homogenous group. The training force in an organization has grown to include subject-matter experts, in-house facilitators, retired specialists, and contract providers.

Training specialists may have specialized skills in one or more of the many facets of training design and delivery; however, they are also generalists, capable of organizing training in partnership with others to ensure a good match between need and delivery.

Learning organization is one that recognizes the desire of people to learn and grow and provides them with that opportunity to enhance the future of the organization. These principles translate into the following three key practices that enable an organization to promote and support continuous learning:

• The ability to learn from each other
• The ability to learn from personal experience
• The ability to learn from the system (that is, organization successes and failures)
