About this learning event

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of what constitutes a learning organization, including its characteristics, disciplines, and benefits, particularly in the public sector. They will explore why and how the CEF and other public institutions function as learning organizations and identify similar activities practiced at their institutions. Additionally, they will brainstorm ways to further develop these practices. 

We will focus on the importance of systematic learning, knowledge sharing, and effective communication within learning organizations. Participants will review current practices at their institutions and discuss their impact on the organization's ability to deliver on its mandate. This includes learning at individual, team, and organizational levels, as well as understanding best practices in capturing, sharing, and using knowledge. They will also explore challenges in fostering a learning and knowledge sharing culture and discuss possible strategies to overcome these challenges.

The event will be the opportunity to discuss the culture of innovation within the organizations, and think of ways to personally contribute to nurturing such culture. Finally, participants will be encouraged to reflect on their personal and professional growth, understanding how the skills and knowledge acquired can be applied to their current roles and future career advancement.

• gain understanding of a learning organization
