Creating a Team Culture of Continuous Learning at Coursera Course details
- There is mounting concern that organizational groups and teams often fail to learn from their past experiences. It?s pertinent to address this issue as groups and teams are often the main ways that work gets done in organizations.
- In this course, we examine the main reasons that groups and teams are often ineffective, which include:
- ? The lack of organizational structures and support for teams and groups
- ? The lack of understanding and emphasis on learning
- ? Misaligned reward structures
- So, what can be done to create an enabling learning culture in teams?
- This course emphasizes practical and impactful ways to begin to address this state of affairs. Through the use of stories, scenarios with actors simulating different team issues, examples and dialogue, you learn how to:
- ? Understand teams in their larger organizational context
- ? Diagnose the learning strengths and barriers to learning on teams
- ? Identify ways to develop a team and group that continually learns and impacts the larger organization positively
- ? Create an organizational environment that encourages learning and innovation
