Drawing on Engineers Without Borders' partnerships with numerous successful market facilitation projects, this video discussion explores the common elements of learning organisations.

It shares insights on questions such as:

  • How can learning, flexibility, and agility be managed for?
  • What specifically can be done to foster teams that are sharing relevant information, taking ownership over the outcomes of the programme, and innovating to achieve them?
  • What are some of the hard processes (i.e., reporting structures and time carved out for reflection and learning) that enable effective learning?
  • What are some of the softer elements (i.e., management messaging and role modelling, tone and feel of an office) that enable it?

The talk is primarily based on experience from market-based programming, but the lessons shared on building learning organisations will be widely applicable.
