Participants were challenged and encouraged to try new ways of learning. They gained an understanding that learning is a journey while training is an event. Internalization of knowledge gained was fostered through skills practice opportunites. Learning can be strengthened through the sharing of experiences and experimentation. Mix participants from different program areas, business lines, and locations.
Innovative results can occur when participants are taken out of their comfort zone.
The active participation of senior managers demonstrates their commitment to the learning process and increases connectivity between management levels. Ensure the program objectives are clearly set out. Do not underestimate the time commitment required in an integrated learning program. Ensure that adequate time and support is provided so learners are not frustrated.
