Learning to Pivot is a blog about how employees and their organizations can successfully develop their capability for adaptive performance. As the pace of technological, societal, and economic change quickens, employees, and the organizations they work for, must learn how to adapt if they are to continue to survive.
Employees (i.e., all individuals employed within an organization) are the vessels of organizational learning. Organizations only learn what their employees learn. Yet, for employees to be productive learners, organizations must also transform in a way that both facilitates employee learning and makes productive use of the results.
The Learning to Pivot blog’s prime directive will be providing information and stimulating reader discussion about these twin learning challenges:
- Individuals must enhance their learning capacity (i.e., learning quickly and effectively), and
- Organizations must enable, value, and leverage employee learning capacity
As Harold Jarche, one of my inspirations in the workplace learning field, has said, “Work is learning, and learning is the work ”. Learning to Pivot is dedicated to spreading this philosophy and helping to build a community around it.
