Scenario: Today’s organization is radically different from the organization of just 30 years
ago. It is functioning in a more complex, diverse and hyper competitive world. So we need
to rebuild the organization as per today’s norms and particularly the learning and
development systems. The radical change has engulfed the societies across the continents
and across the cultures which in turn has affected the organization ways of thinking,
working and responding.
Why Trainings: Today we are sitting in multi-cultural and multi-regional workplaces,
coordinating with our team members most of the time virtually and managing knowledge.
The technological change is unpredictable and effecting workplace norms unpredictably.
The complexity of the work in today’s world is increasing with each individual-to-individual, team-to-team and company-to-company transactions and building up networks
within networks. The information sharing and knowledge management functions have
become even more vital for organizations not only to survive but to thrive as well.
The organization business strategy should promote a perfect balance of focus on people,
processes and tools and workflows must be designed to facilitate every team member and
team to deliver its objectives on time and most importantly in a sustainable way. All these
characteristics are the building blocks of learning management and development
systems in an organization. It is safe to say that people with stronger networks are more
productive, healthier, energetic and better performers. On the other hand companies, who
know how to build, manage and sustain networks and alliances are more flexible, resilient
and adaptive.
Our learning management and development system must equip ourselves with
competencies to not only handle present day workplace challenges but also future
unforeseen business challenges. An organization can only and truly become sustainable
and profitable if its people unlearn old techniques fairly quickly, learn new techniques
efficiently and develop themselves to face future challenges effectively.
In today’s hyper competitive business world, training methodologies based only on
power point slides and class room lectures are not going to add value in the organization in
general and individual in particular. In fact action learning assignments, group based
knowledge sharing activities, simulation and problem solving in real life challenging
environment, discussion sessions on case studies in local or international contexts, online
and offline learning sessions can add maximum value in the organization and complement
the business strategy in the long run more effectively.
The learning outcomes must be targeted to develop leaders at all levels of the
organization and must nurture skills like observation, participation and practice in the
people. All the people should be able to speak one language which helps them achieve
shared success based on shared vision guided by shared values.
The new learning and development system must integrate seamlessly the human,
structural and customer aspects of the organization and hence create a common social
ground to work with an embedded win-win mindset in the organization culture.
