New world work for corporate Learning and Development

"To navigate change companies need fear free cultures of diverse people and mindsets led by leaders who continuously learn, incentivise and train for change and worship no scared cows."

Rishad Tobaccowala 

What if we imagine a new focus for the contribution of corporate 'L&D'? 

To enable what is difficult, valuable and differentiating for our organisation today.

What might this collaborative work look like in practice? 

Prioritising support for the pockets of individuals, managers and teams where learning from and through work is already actively encouraged

Working with managers and team members to understand and agree on the work that needs to be improved and why

Working across teams to identify and define the gaps in 'performance' that need to be closed and why  

Coaching and role modelling that inspires people to take responsibility for their own continuous, self-managed inquiry and learning

Facilitating new opportunities to bring individuals and teams together across their 'functional' boundaries

Enabling and accelerating new connections and introductions in and across teams

Building and role modelling the environment for better questions and reflection

Finding and testing new ways for knowledge, ideas, information and feedback to move faster between teams

Providing platforms where exemplary performers discuss, share and accelerate their experiences and approaches so others benefit.

Hermanni Hyytiala   Here are some barriers to progress that correspond with the way that many control oriented leaders deal with their world: Perpetuating a linear, directive, process oriented, bias... Maintains busyness as the key status enhancing characteristic of the system* Which reinforces an inability to create space for reflection, new opportunities and stopping 'old' things Which limits the ability to define the new characteristics of high performance as context shifts Which prevents agreement on the new conditions that need to be in place to enable these new characteristics Which reinforces the 'snow blindness' of attempting to move in a 'new direction' using the

The interconnectedness of perennial 'L&D' challenges

"The reason why we don't see the source of our problems is that the means by which we try to solve them is the source." David Bohm The ' Top 5 challenges for L&D leaders ' - based on responses from folks planning to attend the 2021 annual Learning & Performance Institute 'Learning Live' conference: 1. "Digital transformation of learning." 2. "Building a learning and coaching culture." 3. "Supporting learning 'in the flow of work'." 4. "Leadership and management development." 5. "Driving employee engagement." There are some perennial runners on this list of " Challenges " (symptoms?) - which in my opinion are all connected .

If we can agree that an individual's expectation of 'work', an employer, a 'boss' a
