The Most Important Survey You Will Ever Take

Friday, September 25, 2009

Ok, well, I might be stretching things a bit.>

But, past Bersin & Associates research has shown that nothing else affects the business impact of an organization’s learning and development efforts as its culture of learning. But what truly defines a strong culture of learning? What organizational practices, behaviors, and norms have the greatest effect on organizational learning?

We are launching a study to help answer these questions, as well as:

What should the role of business leaders, L&D, HR, and the individual employee each be in cultivating Organizational Learning?
Where should leaders in the business, L&D, and HR focus their time and efforts in order to best improve Organizational Learning? Which strategies will generate the biggest return on investment?
How have leading organizations strengthened their own Organizational Learning?
How can you diagnose your own state of Organizational Learning?

Readers of the final research should find easy-to-follow guidance for measuring the current state of organizational learning culture, discerning strengths and areas for improvement, and identifying actionable, practical solutions for raising the profile of learning within the organization.

We need your help. Take this survey. Send it to your friends to take as well.

As a special thanks, all survey participants will receive a complete copy of our related Case Study: "Learning Culture: The Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Uses Knowledge-Sharing and Social Learning to Meet Its Workforce Needs”as well as an executive summary of the final study. With your permission, we will also invite you to a special summary webinar to coincide with the study launch.
