P13 Building Learning Communities to Support Performance
8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Tuesday, June 7
301/302
In the Social Age, you learn differently—performance is reliant on having the right tools, the right training, and the right communities around you. But these communities are about more than just technology. They are built on trust. You have to consider how they form, how they function, and how you can use them to make your organization more effective.
In this workshop, you will explore a number of key topics, including: how the Social Age is impacting organizational learning; the foundations of community—spaces, permissions, and trust; how to choose what spaces to use for your community; how to create permission to engage, considering notions of consequence and impact; and how to address questions of trust—is the organization willing to engage fairly. You will explore how to build a practical plan for your organization to build engaged learning communities.
In this session, you will learn:
- How communities are central to sense making and learning in the Social Age
- How to create the right spaces for your communities to thrive and how to develop a sense of what permission needs to be granted to support this
- How to earn the trust of the community
- The importance of choreography in delivering a superb engagement
- How to develop a plan for your own organization to be able to implement and support effective learning communities
