My name is Flemming Goldbach and I am the Chief Product Officer and Head of Engineering at LMS365. We are Learning Management platform built into M365 and have been an early adoptor and supporter of Viva Learning. I wanted to start the conversations in this forum but offering a perspective on how to drive a culture of learning. Key components to succeed with this are the following: Make it easy for people to get to the available learning opportunities This is done by ensuring that learning opportunities are available right at the persons fingertips - by being available right where they spend their working time: In Microsoft Teams. Ensure that the relevant learning opportunities are available This can be partially achieved by having relevant insights as to the different needs and connecting with large libraries to quickly offer ready-made generic learning content. However, to provide organization specific learning opportunities as well, learning and development professionals need to engage closely with subject matter experts - or empower those subject matter experts - to create organization specific learning opportunities in form of self-paced training (e-Learning), instructor-led training and/or on-the-job training opportunities. Promote learning successes in the organization This is achieved by ensuring that it is easy for people to keep a single source of truth with tracking of their learning successes (their learning transcript) regardless of where they achieved their learning success. To drive the change in behavior, the organization also need to publicly and loudly promote the learning success of the people in the organization who are front-runners. What other key components to drive a culture of learning do you see?
