People learn from experience, from mistakes and from peers. "If you employ humans, learning happens in your workplace every day." B Andreatta: 6 Steps. Why was it that of all the challenges faced by learning departments today, the top priority is to ‘create’ a culture that already exists? What does ‘Create a learning culture’ really mean and why is it such a challenge? What's wrong with your existing learning culture? If business goals are not being met quickly enough, or a leadership team is struggling to execute its business strategy, sometimes it is easy to blame ‘the learning culture’.

Consider though that the problem might be more about how the value of learning is perceived among the workforce.
