4.19 The learning value chain is broken

For me, all learning has value only when applied, resulting in an attributable and sustainable positive impact.

 

Sounds simple, and all the theoretical frameworks support this idea. The trouble is, far too often, it is no more than an idea.

To be seen more often I believe we need to see enthusiastic, supported learners with incentives and reasons to develop and apply new insights.

We need to move away from the apparent and false perception of value from herding people by the dozen onto chairs, and work more often at a one to one level. Then we need to reward those who use their learning to enhance their own and organisational performance.

Is this too much to expect? It is in organisations where when I raise this I get told 'just do the training'!
