How To Obtain An Agile Innovation Tradition

Here’s how to take your organization to the next level with the maturity model

Business maturity differs significantly from learning maturity. Usually, however, you can’t have one without the other. Business maturity is about growing your business and having a solid strategy that drives long-term success. On the other hand, learning maturity focuses on your L&D initiatives, employee development, and the training mentality of your team members. This e-book will show you how to cultivate both aspects of your business to achieve your goals and start an innovative online training program using a learning maturity model.

5 reasons why a mature learning culture is critical to business success

Promote lifelong learning

Employees know that continuous development is part of the job description, especially if they want to be successful in their field. Few organizations, however, emphasize the importance of lifelong learning as part of the career path. A mature learning culture is based on continuous development and the promotion of talent. They provide a framework for employees to build their skills and knowledge base to improve performance in the workplace. It’s not just about checking boxes to make sure they meet the minimum requirements for L&D. Instead, employees have ample opportunity to fill in gaps and break bad habits before they negatively impact productivity in the workplace.

Offer personal support

Even the most experienced employees need a helping hand from time to time. A mature learning culture includes a solid support system that gives employees instant access to peer networks and online training resources. For example, visit the microlearning library to fill in the gaps and improve your talents autonomously. They also know that team leaders are there to encourage and provide individual guidance, rather than admonishing them to ask for help. In other words, seeking guidance and feedback is perceived as a strength as it shows that they are dedicated to continuous improvement rather than being seen as a sign of weakness.

Create positive online training prospects

Some employees already have a negative perception of online training or L&D in general based on previous experience. A mature learning culture helps them to recognize the importance of learning and development from a practical point of view. For example, employees take part in simulations, live events, and other activities that demonstrate the power of a sophisticated learning model in action. It is no longer a passive learning exercise, but a fully interactive and engaging experience that is tied to your professional duties and responsibilities.

Develop key skills

Skills are a precious commodity, but it all depends on the talents your people need to master. For example, certain team members need to focus on communication and interpersonal skills while others focus on safe handling and inventory planning. A mature organization and an agile innovation culture focus on relevance and real application. It’s not enough to just start a course catalog or micro-learning library; you also need to create personalized learning pathways that will resonate with your employees and give them actionable insights.

Keep top talent

One of the main reasons for creating a successful learning culture is retaining high achievers. Employees are always looking for new ways to expand their skills. If your organization can’t provide them with the L&D building blocks, they may be looking for greener pastures. A well-engineered organization and learning culture will also help you to attract new employees in order to continuously expand your talent pool.
