LEARNING
The result of learning is
“Change in Behaviour”
of a person.
Learning is a process
through which a
person acquires new
Knowledge, Skill and
Attitude.
Competency = Technology X Attitude X Skill X Knowledge
3. As the world becomes more
interconnected and business
becomes more complex and
dynamic, work must become
more “Learningful” –
Capacity to learn at all level
in an organization
5. Learning is a process
of enhancing learner’s
capacity,
individually and collectively,
to produce results
learners truly want to
produce
Problems can be solved only through “Collective Intelligence”
6. Features of Learning
• The building of capacity
for effective action, as
opposed to intellectual
understanding only
• This capacity builds
over considerable time
7. Learning – two levels
• At one level, all learning is judged by what the
learner can do, the results they produce.
• On the deeper level, learning is about
developing a capacity to reliably produce a
certain quality of results.
8. Team Learning
Team learning is a process
of aligning and developing
the capacity of a team to
create the results its
members truly want.
9. • The fundamental characteristic of the
relatively unaligned team is wasted energy
• Individuals may work extraordinarily hard, buy
their effort do not efficiently translate to team
effort.
• Individuals learn all the time and yet there is
no organisational learning
10. Dimensions of Team Learning
• Need to think insightfully about complex
issues
• Need for innovation and coordinated action
• There is the role of team members on other
teams

meaning

understanding
• Complex issues are explored
• People become observers of their
own thinking

individuals
Discussion

• Decisions are made
12. Learning Over Time
After Action Review
• What happened?
• What did we expect?
• What can we learn from the
gap?
13. Leader as teacher
• A great teacher is someone around whom
others learn.
• Great teachers create space for learning and
invite people into that space.
• By contrast, less masterful teachers focus on
what they are teaching and how they are
doing it.
14. Through learning you
• Re-create yourself
• Become able to o do something you never
were able to do
• Reperceive the world and your relationship to
the world

you become of your ignorance
18. Life Long of Learning
Continually expanding
your abilities to create
the results in life you
truly seek
Past learning may not
be useful in Future
19. You have to be immersed
in your work and
continuously learn from the
muddles of uncertainty,
ambiguity, and
real-life problems
20. Life Long Learner
• The willingness to act towards what you want,
to risk, to fail

Live till old, Learn till you live
21. Self Discipline
Self Discipline is conscious practice of
controls, habits and restraints,
imposed by one self and

22. One best way - fail
• Inefficient – One best way has to fight against
uniqueness – no individuality
• Demeaning – by providing all the answers, it
prevents each individual from perfecting, and
taking responsibility of her own style
• Kills learning - every time you make a rule you
take away a choice and choice, with all of its
illuminating repercussions, is the fuel for
learning.
23. • I never stopped trying to become qualified for
the job

continous learning – Paul Polman, CEO,
Unilever

we truly want in life
• To continually expand our awareness and
understanding

interdependencies between actions and our
reality
• To see more and more of our connectedness
to the world around us
25. Learning involves
• New Understandings,
• New Behaviours,
• New “Thinking” and
• New “Doing”
26. “Beat the Odds Study” Report
• Don’t even think about playing a blame game when
students are not learning.
• Have the strength to look at the problem and take
responsibility
• Don’t think the solution is “out there”
• If the students are not learning, the school needs to
change
• No one is allowed to lag behind
• If every student in every class is not learning, the
school is not doing its job
