BE A CONTINUOUS LEARNER We used to think that learning was something that stopped when you left school or further education. The skills you'd learnt would equip you for life. But in a time of rapid change, this no longer holds true. As information fuels change, so learning has to fuel keeping up with change. Today, you have to be a continuous learner.

ON-THE- JOB LEARNING In the old days of slow and gradual change, people learnt how to do a job when they started and that was enough. Apart from occasional top- ups, they didn't need to learn anything more. Today, that has all changed and one of the ways you can learn is from and on the job. Set learning goals to do your job better. Learn from the best of others. Be endlessly curious about your work.

Never before have we had access to as much information as today through video, DVD, TV, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet.

ALL WAYS LEARNING https://www.flickr.com/photos/poptech/15584779436/ In switched-on learning organisations, learning isn't just the responsibility of those who train.

You can mentor, facilitate, give feedback, offer insights. In all-ways learning, learning is from everyone to everyone.

Anarchic learning is learning that can take place anytime, anywhere, anyhow. In anarchic learning, learning doesn't have to be in the traditional manner from those who know to those who don't. It can be sideways from work colleagues; bottom-up from newcomers; outside-in from customers and suppliers; and top-down from managers, coaches, and mentors. Unlike normal learning, anarchic learning is unplanned, unexpected and opportunistic.

But only if, instead of blaming and shaming people, the organisation sees mistakes as learning opportunities. Some of the best inventions around, for instance the post-it note and the microwave oven, are the products of mistakes. But only because people were willing to learn.
