| | AUGUST 2024MANAGEHRMAGAZINE.COM8In MyOpinion"We need to be a Learning Organisation," I hear many people say this (me included) and then we talk about what it means, often using concepts such as learn, unlearn, or relearn, or learning ecosystem. All great ideas that sound right but no one in the business really understands. The now famous quote by Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella's, "As a culture, we are moving from a group of people who know it all to a group of people who want to learn it all," became our North Star - we all wanted some of that but got stuck in the how and reached out if anyone could help with the recipe of the `secret sauce' to make it happen. The concept of a learning organisation is very much "on trend" but it's not new and it's been around for 50 years, boosted in the 1990s by Peter Senge's book The Fifth Discipline: The Art & Practice of the Learning Organization. It's common knowledge that employees and organisations must be continuously learning, adapting, or improving in order to avoid obsolescence. However, most people think that they don't have the time to learn. According to them, the biggest barrier to learning is not knowing when or what to learn to avoid becoming obsolete. Some are even afraid of being replaced by robots (because the machines are learning too!)By Geraldine Percival, Group Head of Talent & Development, Asahi Europe & InternationalLEADING THE JOURNEY TO BECOME A LEARNING ORGANIZATIONGeraldine Percival
