Patterns for building a learning organization

The question is: “What do companies who learn actually do to learn?“

Yes, we all know about retrospectives but there is a lot more too it than that. This was the question Tsvetelina Plummer and I set out to answer in what became our paper to EuroPLoP this year: “Learning to learn: patterns for building the learning organisation”

While we know this isn’t a complete answer – there is more work to do – I’m immensely proud of the patterns here. We put a lot of effort in before the conference, first by ourselves and then with MaryLynn Manns as our shepherd. And in the last few weeks a lot more effort to incorporate the workshop comments and get the paper ready for the proceedings.

So here is the paper, we’d love to know what you think.

Even better, if you have example of what you and your company do, a case study, an activity, anything really, then please please please get in touch and tell us about it.

The official version will appear in a few months in the conference proceedings by Springer Nature but only the formatting changes really (and this version is better.)
