Learning Lane™
“Investing in people, the only possible appreciating asset”
Do organization’s need a learning plan and/or strategy?
Some organizations deal with learning intuitively: “Learning is good so let’s do it!” This is great, to a degree, in good times.
What happens when things get tight and what “expense” gets cut first?
Simple mantra: “Ensure each learning initiative explicitly identifies which business outcome(s) it is contributing to”

Simple mantra: “Ensure all learning initiatives explicitly identifies which business outcome(s) it is contributing to”
Do organization’s know where learning is occurring?
Yes, to a degree. Activities such as OJT (on the job training), informal coaching and mentoring may fall off the radar especially if they happen informally. In fact, most organizations have a lot of learning occurring that is either implicit or hidden. Uncovering such learning is both revealing and rewarding. It can also serve as a mini learning strategy in itself and/or a strategy benchmark as well as a great “Orientation tool”. GHS Enterprise in collaboration with Friesen Kaye and Associates has a proprietary learning map called a Learning Lane™ that does just that and more.

What is a Learning Lane™?
A Learning Lane™ is the journey of learning through an employee’s lens during the tenure of work life. It is a meandering journey with learning occurring within both obvious and less obvious people practices.
The most readily captured are those learning moments within the visible portion of an iceberg, above the waterline. Industry experts believe the learning above the waterline represent more than a $92.3 Billion investment.
Other learning moments are less visible but are more numerous below the waterline, like the construct of an iceberg. These real time learning moments take a little more effort to uncover. Just imagine the $ investment of the learning going on below the waterline!

What about the need for learning infrastructure?
A good learning governance framework manages expectation from the “get go”. Having a simple dashboard that links learning to business outcomes including impact on culture and bottom line financials will pay enormous dividends.

Driven by the Business Strategy and aligned with the People Strategy it includes the articulation of Core Purpose, Envisioned Future, required infrastructure and any or all elements indicated below:
Includes standardization of Instructional Design and Techniques to be deployed, Learning Investment Decisions, Accountability Frameworks and Measurement Dashboard creation.
This may include Explicit vs Implicit Leadership approaches, Conversations with Action, Development of Succession Planning, Culture Shaping Techniques and Tools, etc.
How we involve key stakeholders in Strategy Development pays huge dividends in the deployment with engaged Learning Advocates that will be instrumental in successful execution.
The development of a competency-based curriculum with life cycle and learning opportunities designed and/or identified within the journey.
This may include Orientation with Sustainability, Performance Consulting or other Topical Workshops with built in ROI.
A communication plan is an imperative. We will either work with an Internal Specialist or provide one to identify and deploy stakeholder specific messaging.
It provides a framework that captures all learning: Work Related; Social Interaction; and Structured Programs formally and informally within an Enterprise.
