Creating learning organisations and systems

As an essential foundation for working in complexity, we support partners to develop a culture of learning, acting as a learning partner to teams, organisations, partnerships and collaborations. Our pioneering collaborative work on Human Learning Systems has highlighted the need to shift away from traditional performance management and accountability measures that seek to control, and instead develop organisational and system-wide approaches to learning that enable people to adapt services and support in real time. We help organisations and partnerships understand the importance of learning when tackling complex challenges; facilitate peer learning; develop learning cultures, capabilities and practices; and co-design new learning tools and frameworks.
