Recommendation

Digitization, Brexit, artificial intelligence, shifting trade agreements and a generation that may never retire – the world is changing rapidly, and for businesses to survive (and thrive) they’ll have to change along with it. Based on the results of more than 100,000 interviews and surveys, Towards Maturity founder Laura Overton and People-Star founder Jane Daly urge companies to become “learning organizations.” They sift through myriad risks that companies face and explain how a learning ecosystem will help companies move forward in this ever-changing, digital business world. getAbstract recommends their analysis to executive-level business leaders.

Take-Aways

  • Systems scientist Peter Senge defined a “learning organization” as “a group of people working together collectively to enhance their capacities to create results they really care about.”
  • Learning organizations have “clarity of purpose, a holistic staff experience, a thriving ecosystem, a digitally enabled infrastructure, continual engagement and intelligent decision making.”
  • In 2016, 41% of the CEOs who took part in the Towards Maturity Benchmark Study said they expected their companies to transform significantly within three years.
