Leaders aspiring growth mindset need to inspire continuous learning across the organisation. Continuous learning can be directed by creation of two Glossaries.
1. Glossary of New Learnings for Organisation– Create focus group of 3:7 (Seniors and Millennials). Let Seniors identify Top 5 products or services of the company. Let millennials identify outdated areas in these 5 products or services. Let millennials suggest / recommend latest skills and technologies to replace or upgrade the existing product / service in one or two years. This ensures everyone is prepared for sustainable growth.
2. Glossary of Learnings for Individual– Create assessment frameworks that helps individuals to compare their skills (technical and soft) with next role they aspire to become along with options provided by organisation to upskill themselves.
Way Forward for Learning Organisation mindset: As an Organisation publish the Glossary of Skills for next 6 months and encourage every one to upskill themselves. Start the initiatives that focus on encouraging learning at different levels such as Individual, Group, Organisational, Inter Organisational.
Encourage Organisational learning by encouraging
- Mentor-Mentee frameworks
- 3o-minutes online webinars
- 60-minutes in-person experience sharing sessions (case studies/dos and donts)
- Badges that show case individual learning achievements to colleagues
Encourage Inter Organisational learning by partnering with experts
- 1 day or 2 day class room workshops
- 1 day or 2 day online webinars from experts
- R&D Labs to try pilot projects
- Sponsor Employees for Conferences
- Sponsor for Certification
