GS4 Nurturing a Culture of Continuous Learning: A Guild Master Panel
12:00 PM - 12:45 PM Thursday, February 25
The concept of building a “culture of learning” is discussed often in learning and development circles. It’s fairly easy to recognize an organization that has a strong learning culture, but it’s considerably more challenging to build such a culture yourself.
In our closing session of the Learning Leaders Online Forum, we have invited three Guild Masters for a conversation examining how to support and improve the culture of learning in our organizations. You will examine the factors that most shape an organization’s learning culture, and the associated forces that most directly influence those factors. You will examine common challenges that exist in pushing your learning culture forward, and the strategies that can be used to overcome them. Join us for a lively discussion that will help you improve your organization’s learning culture.
