No one individual, however smart, can work out what an organization needs to succeed. But in recent times, a personalised, individualised approach to learning has underpinned learning at work. As organizations face increasing complexity they need an approach to learning that draws on ideas and insights of the entire organization. This approach is organizational learning.
As a part of my ongoing research and forthcoming book into organizational learning I will be sharing insights into how this approach can help individuals and organizations learn and grow, react more quickly to change and become more resilient.
Here you can register for a series of webinars featuring practitioners who are making organisational learning a reality as well as access articles and resources. This page will be updated regularly over the coming weeks.

Embracing external insights to drive change
March 7, 2024 3:00 pm
Most organizations are insular, they stop information leaking out or breaking in. But insularity creates a blindness to external factors and the forces driving change. So how can organisations create a culture that is open to new ideas and that can act on them quickly?
Nigel will be joined by Dr Ann Schulte, Chief Learning Officer at Proctor and Gamble.
Join us to explore:
- How to ramp up curiosity and encourage the exploration of new ideas
- How to create the space and time for this to happen
- How to build the forums to process this information
- How to make intelligent decisions based on this data
Adopting healthy habits – failing and asking for help

Join us to explore:
- Why fear is always toxic
- Why mistakes are massive learning opportunities

Organizational Learning: Reimagined and Redefined for our time
Wednesday, November 22nd, 2023
