Organizational learning: a key performance driver in the digital age
What is organizational learning?
Organizational learning is a company's ability to transform collective experience into actionable knowledge. This means that every project, every mistake, every user interaction or feedback becomes an opportunity for continuous improvement.
It's not just a matter of training employees from time to time, but of creating a learning ecosystem, where knowledge circulates freely, is structured and takes root over the long term.
Organizational learning rests on 3 pillars:
Collective memorization: formalize best practices and feedback.
Transmission: share knowledge company-wide via collaborative or training tools.
Adaptation: adjust processes, tools and behaviors according to the learning acquired.
Why is organizational learning crucial today?
In the age of digitalization and hybrid working, companies operate in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment. 70% of transformation projects fail due to poor change management, often linked to a collective learning deficit. In this context, the ability to learn quickly and well becomes a strategic skill.
How to foster a culture of organizational learning?
Technology alone is not enough. For organizational learning to become a reality, certain cultural and managerial conditions must be met:
Encouraging the right to make mistakes
Mistakes are a valuable source of learning. It must be recognized, documented and exploited rather than punished.
Sharing knowledge
Set up experience-sharing forums (communities of practice, collaborative platforms, intelligent intranets, etc.).
Promoting in-house ambassadors
They are often the ones who hold the keys to operational knowledge. Give them a voice, and equip them to transmit effectively.
Integrating learning into workflows
Digital adoption platforms like K-NOW make it possible: learn in context, without leaving your tools.
