This article looks at a couple of reports from Deloitte, 2021's The Social Enterprise in a World Disrupted and last June's Human inside: How capabilities can unleash business performance. According to Deloitte, "few organizations have focused on developing multiple capabilities... most organizations targeted only leaders and high-potential workers for development versus investing in building the learning ecosystem to develop the workforce at large." That sounds familiar. Learning organizations, write the authors, should "move beyond formal learning (i.e., courses delivered virtually or e-learning) to informal and experiential learning at a distance that emphasizes team and social learning." Of course, we've been hearing all this for years. What would convince leaders to focus less on learning for themselves and more on providing quality learning opportunities for the workforce at large?
