Funny thought occurred to me today as I was walking. What if organisations used different forms of learning in the same way that people do. This thought came to me after watching the TED clip about educating for the future.
Sir Ken Robinson did an extremely good job at showing how the universities have created education systems in their own image. All humans are designed to learn in different ways. Some learn best through motion, some through visual observation, some through talking. It is interesting that although this is well documented, very little has been done to apply this knowledge to effect on children, let alone adults and organisations.
Very often companies will call in some management guru who most likely connects with whatever style the top dog uses to learn. In the 80’s companies went off on a lot of team building trials where a lot of movement was involved, but this was seen as team building and not used as a conscious form of problem solving/learning. How does an organisation develop a healthy, natural relationship with this form of learning?
