Watch now: #GettingStuffDone - Creating a Learning Environment

Catch up with the third in our #GettingStuffDone series, where guests discussed the importance of creating a learning environment.

Listening, learning and improving must be built into the culture of delivery. A successful learning culture creates a community of people that are engaged, feel able to contribute, and enjoy each other’s challenge.

A key aspect of this is trust: giving practitioners the permission to use their judgment, whilst maintaining a clear line of accountability. An effective learning culture gives professionals permission to try new approaches, learn from mistakes and in environment of openness and honesty. It encourages inquisitiveness about new ways of working and new solutions.

Faced with pressure to deliver on time and to budget, learning also provides resilience in delivery, setting a tone of support and constructive challenge when challenges arise.
