What is enterprise learning? The essence of enterprise learning is demonstrated when someone other than the initial learner, adopts and adapts the prevention to a lesson or a new learning. Individual knowledge and learning abilities help each of us to be successful and competitive. For an enterprise to remain successful and competitive, knowledge and a visible process for the enterprise to learn are necessary as well. Individuals are the learners in any enterprise. Individual learning is necessary but not sufficient. Sufficiency occurs when what is collectively known, and which is valid and relevant, is shared with and reused by other employees. Visible enterprise learning is a people process, an obligation to share, act on and reusing what has been learned. This process is more than just communicating with each other. Communicating new learnings and preventions to lessons are necessary but again not sufficient. Sufficiency comes from making a substantive change, either adding to or modifying existing intellectual capital. A visible enterprise learning process ensures that actionable learnings and preventions are inserted into the enterprise's intellectual capital for future adoption and adaptation by any employee. In this context, intellectual capital is divided into 3 categories: - Technical Excellence (individual know-how)
- Intellectual Properties (Best Practices and other written technical resources), and
- Technical Exchanges (key meetings where information and knowledge is exchanged).
Any employee, at any time, is empowered bring a new learning or a prevention for a lesson to the appropriate subject matter responsible team(s). The enterprise learning process ensures that the employees reuses learnings and avoids repeating lessons. The enterprise learns. Please
