1. The LearningMiles
Discovery Process

2. Four building blocks for the
LM Discovery Process
1. Context; the process starts with a trigger challenge, a
real challenge the company/organisation needs to
solve. An experienced expert needs a creative conflict
to be inspired
2. Theories/ideas; what research can bring to solve the
challenge
3. Learning experience; to be able to see the problem
from a new perspective you need to get out from
your own organisation and your own comfort zone
4. The challenge is solved together in dialogue which
forms a firm base for shared thinking
