To hear the groundswell of thinking, conversations, and reflections across our partnerships, networks, sector and systems, placing learning at the centre of all that we do, is a real step change.\u00a0 Seeing agendas, strategy reviews and events reflecting on the value of learning is a very welcome swing. We are, together, across partners, funders and our teams collectively starting to pinpoint the power of learning. \u00a0I\u2019m hearing more loudly that measurement is really about learning, impact is really about learning, learning isn\u2019t an event and could actually unlock future strategy, team engagement, partners and funding.\u00a0 Strategically we\u2019re embracing that critically, learning <strong>IS<\/strong> the job.<\/p>\n<p>Yet.\u00a0 We have a way to go. Because having that \u2018aha\u2026 its learning\u2019 moment isn\u2019t enough. Now comes arguably the tougher work.\u00a0 Evolution can be harder than revolution &#8211; as the saying goes \u2018Change is inevitable\u2026 growth is optional\u2019. So to safeguard learning against becoming the next overused buzzword, we have to take it further.\u00a0 And ensure learning means we take action, it means we connect the dots, we test, we adapt. And use our learning to frame the difference being made by our work.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2276&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<pre><code>[evp_embed_video url=\"https:\/\/shipway-consulting.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-a-learning-culture-master.mp4\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>So let\u2019s start with the why? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Framing learning as a vehicle for change is not news.<\/p>\n<p>At an individual level, trends show that employees have been making clear over the past ten years the greater currency placed on purpose, development and fulfilment at work over financial benefits. As the CIPD noted in a recent employment trends review \u201ctime and again studies have shown if employees aren\u2019t learning, they\u2019re leaving\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>On an organisational level, the famous quote attributed to Peter Drucker, Management Theorist, in 2005 contending that \u2018culture eats strategy for breakfast\u2019, reflected that leaders recognised on-paper plans meant little without their people\u2019s ability and willingness to make them happen. Culture became a metric for high performing teams and organisational effectiveness\u2026 and probably started weaning out those with the ability to maintain long term sustained competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<p>And more recently the shift in focus on the power of learning in systemic working has reflected much of this wider learning.<\/p>\n<p>Sense-making and distilling what collaborative leadership looks like, how we work across organisational boundaries to create shared purpose, how we can measure the unmeasurable and how we collectively impact on societal challenges, are all pushing us to use strategic learning to effect change.<\/p>\n<p>But human behaviour tells us that you cannot either force or mandate learning, or even a commitment to it.\u00a0 As any teacher will evidence, if someone doesn\u2019t want to learn, they won\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, there are patterns of practice, ideas, ways of working and tools, which have been shown to improve the likelihood of success through building a strong learning culture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>So how?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A further step change comes in recognising that learning is a verb as well as a noun!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, critical thinking and reflecting is vital. As is collectively drawing together our knowledge and skills. But it\u2019s also, fundamentally about taking action.\u00a0 And how we feel about what we are doing \u2013 is it important to us?<\/p>\n<p>Proven learning cultures reflect a recognition that they are seeking to continually build their future &#8211; improving not just preserving.<\/p>\n<p>In these environments, leadership embrace the need for all to be learning leaders across the organisation. Leaders who are prepared to be vulnerable and admit they don\u2019t know all the answers recognise that the experts in addressing the issues are usually those who are on the front line dealing with them everyday.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2277&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]But tellingly they also acknowledge that \u2018bottom up\u2019 approaches don\u2019t happen by chance. and cannot happen in a vacuum or in silos.\u00a0 \u00a0They take designing, framing and shaping.\u00a0 It requires leaders AND leadership. It needs \u2018bottom up\u2019 and \u2018top down\u2019 approaches, working side by side for it to thrive.\u00a0 And then together, to nudge, connect and galvanise all through their collective purpose.<\/p>\n<p>So it\u2019s a holistic whole system approach which is needed.\u00a0 Not just learning officers, teams or clusters.\u00a0 And it isn\u2019t a HR, corporate, insight or workforce function accountability.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a way of being which is embedded across everything and everyone \u2013 organisationally and systemically.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s how you create core strategy. How you debate your why. How you seek, develop, review and reward your people.\u00a0 How you set up your structures, ways of coming together and places of work.\u00a0 How you create your team purpose, values and behaviours.\u00a0 How you embrace and work with change.\u00a0 How you innovate. How you harness diverse thinking. How you consider risk. How you build trust.\u00a0 How you interact with each other.\u00a0 How you share stories.\u00a0 How you design the work being done.<\/p>\n<p>Organisations are living systems in themselves and thrive best when valued as that \u2013 for organisations don\u2019t change.\u00a0 People do.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<strong>So what next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Connecting the blurry bit in the middle between strategic intent and evaluation can seem too intangible. \u00a0What is our learning? What do we do with it when we have it? How do we apply it?<\/p>\n<p>But there are tools which can support. Applying systematic, tried and tested simple practices. \u00a0Helping you evaluate what learning you have.\u00a0 How you can build a framework to connect it.\u00a0 Helping you identify what your learning culture is.\u00a0 What you need it to be. And how you share with others why it works.<\/p>\n<p>A great nugget of advice I learnt often rings true &#8211; \u2018<em>Change your mindset. Act like an organisation but think like a movement\u2019.<\/em> \u00a0And as we all know, in any sphere of life, success breeds success. Building a true learning culture can attract those who want to be part of it with you\u2026 as team members, collaborators, partners and funders.<\/p>\n<p>For if you build it, they will come.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]\u201cLearning sits at the heart of it\u201d, \u201clearning is the key\u201d, \u201cwhat we do is unpinned by our learning\u201d, \u201clearning from our learning is fundamental to our impact\u201d.
