‘Embedding Workplace Learning into Organisational Culture’
Charles Jennings, Director Duntroon Associates
The talk will involve issues of embedding workplace learning into organisational culture, how this fits with university level work based learning and some of the challenges and opportunities for linkage. Many organisations are just opening up to approaches such as 70:20:10 (where 70% of learning is experiential) which creates opportunities for work based learning development at al levels – including higher cognitive thinking and innovation.
At 11.30 -12.30 there will be a further opportunity to stay and discuss ideas that have been raised
