Learning in the Flow of Work: Insights from Monthly Dialogues

In practice, as we start to implement any new concept, we often find ourselves asking, “How will this change be possible in my organization?” In order to answer this question, it’s best to break it down into several more specific and digestible questions. Our community participants started this conversation and provide some fantastic insight into taking on the process of initiating learning in the flow of work. So, let’s start to break down the HOW?
