How can I develop a culture of learning in my organization? How do I realize the benefits of social and collaborative learning? How can I engage employees with this learning?

Organizational Learning Communities answers these questions and explains how and why this approach can improve individual employee performance and drive overall business results. Written by a leading voice in the learning profession, this book contains everything that Learning and Development (L&D) practitioners need to know to successfully embed learning communities in their organizations and to gain the benefits of social and collaborative learning in the company. It outlines the foundations of learning communities and explains the keys to building these communities including culture, diversity, curation, accessibility and technology.

Organizational Learning Communities also explains how learning communities drive performance and allows businesses to manage knowledge, solve problems, boost innovation and avoid 'groupthink'. There is also a step-by-step guide on how to measure impact and demonstrate this to senior stakeholders. Supported with evidence for learning communities, global case studies and reflective questions at the end of each chapter to embed thinking and promote action, this is a practical book for all L&D professionals and anyone responsible for workplace learning.
