You are the newly appointed General Manager and the CEO has given you the task of developing, implementing and monitoring an organisational learning strategy for the company, as the first step towards establishing Grow Management Consultants a learning organisation.

 

  1. Write a learning strategies report
 

 

You are required to lead learning strategy formation by researching and evaluating organisational learning approaches and methods, examining options for organisational learning, including an assessment of the organisation’s strategic requirements and processes that are in place and then making recommendations for an organisational learning strategy.

Conduct your research, analysis and evaluation and develop a report that includes the following:

  • An evaluation of a range of methods and approaches to learning and workplace training and how they would support the company’s strategic requirements as documented in the Strategic Business Plan. As a guide you should describe a minimum of three methods and approaches to organisational learning.
  • An analysis of how organisational learning can contribute to a company’s ability to grow and develop and therefore be more competitive.
  • A review of the company’s existing policies and procedures relevant to organisational learning/training and assessment and any current gaps. These are:
    • Recruitment, Selection and Induction Policy and Procedures.
    • Performance Appraisal Policy and Procedures
  • A review of current best practice for policies and processes that support organisational learning: what are they and what should they include?
  • Recommendations for the structure and content of the company’s organisational learning strategy. Recommendations should be based on your research and the company’s strategic requirements and policies discussed above.
  • Define the ideal technological and systems requirements for an organisational learning strategy and compare to what is currently in place.
  • Define and document communication and consultation process that can be used to support development and implementation of organisational learning strategy.
  • Recommend procedures that can be incorporated into the organisational learning strategy to systematically liaise with educators/instructors, learners and others to monitor the extent to which learning strategies and learning resources are achieving the organisational learning targets.
