Without the right learning culture, nothing is possible. But how do you influence it? In this session, our panel explore different aspects of learning culture.
They will look at how to help employees develop a new understanding of learning in their everyday working lives, and to take control of it, but also examine the importance of equity and inclusivity as part of a learning culture.

Valuable@Work, Jef Staes
During this presentation Jef Staes will explain that our obsessive focus on 'training & education' to become more agile or innovative is wrong. This presentation will not only confront participants with ‘the enemy within’ but will also propose a mindset to break the paralyzing powers from the ‘past’.
The world is changing faster and faster. Climate change and disruptive innovation forces education and industry to adapt. They have to embrace agile, sustainable and disruptive innovation. But Covid learned us one thing: Industry and Education are not built to learn or innovate.
Industry and Education have a hard time in keeping up with this fast-changing world, not because it is not possible, but because they don't have the courage to cast or recast the right people in the right roles. Because of this, they are not working on the right solutions.
Access to information to enable learning & innovation, is not the issue anymore. 'Real Learning & Innovation' happens spontaneously if students or employees are able to work or study in the groove with their talents. No passion to learn and not allowed to act, are the main reasons why education and work are not able to adapt.
We need to disrupt the learning and working culture in education and work. We need heroes!
The concepts of 3D-Smarting, Power Defect and Red Monkey Innovation Management will disrupt your brain.
Overview
- What is real learning & innovation?
- We have to accept continuous disruption in employment to create real learning and innovative organizations!
- Most change projects fail because of the wrong management culture. We need management heroes!
5 Principles for Growth Learning Culture - Our Case Study, Yanay Zaguri
This presentation shares the case study of how Forever Day One (4ED1) GmbH underwent a significant change process through which they shaped a Growth Learning Culture.
Learning culture is perhaps one of the most important factors for the success of both us as L&D and the organizations we serve. We often underestimate our ability to influence a learning culture. In practice, our day-to-day activities shape the culture of learning.

These strengths will be translated into day-to-day activities that demonstrate a learning culture that supports your success. We will help map the key factors influencing learning opportunities and provide principles to lead to the growth of your organization, people and business.
Overview
- Understand what is Growth Learning Culture.
- Design learning strategies that encourage Growth Learning Culture.

Next Level Learning Organisation - The Prerequisites for Successful Business Transformation in the 21st Century, Moritz Ettl
This interactive presentation will be the starting point for companies that want to take the next step on the path to becoming a learning organization.
With a view to the new learning opportunities/ecosystems/technologies, we have repeatedly found with our partners that the prerequisite for the success of the learning ecosystem is that the employees develop a completely new understanding of education and learning in their everyday working lives in order to navigate the ecosystem in a self-determined manner and to use it for themselves and their companies.
To put it bluntly, we are currently seeing many organizations that give their employees a kind of Bahncard100 for learning, but many don't even know where to go or how to take the train at all.
The way we work and the reasons why we work are changing at breakneck speed. To master this change, future-proof organizations have to create frameworks that embed deep learning and change capabilities in the workforce.
In this presentation we will:
- Show the new importance of learning and of the capability of change in the 21st century and give you the right arguments and examples to make the topic more of a priority in your organization
- Create a common understanding of what a learning organization means today.
- Help L&D managers to develop the right conditions to enable employees (from trainees to managers) to become "self-directed learners". We will do this from a training, role model, communication and process/structure perspective.
- Share the actions and talk about barriers that can get in the way of implementation and how to overcome them.
Overview
- New arguments and a narrative to more compellingly demonstrate the priority of learning and the capability of change in an enterprise.
- Concrete tools to design a learning organization, starting with its users, the employees.
- "Hands-on" concrete recommendations for action and best practices from the field.
