Learning Ecosystems (Creating Innovative, Lean and Tech-driven Learning Strategies) - 9781398629912

Learning is no longer a support function, but a strategic imperative for organizations navigating the liminal space between past realities and future possibilities.

Learning Ecosystems by Katja Schipperheijn is a strategic guide for learnscapers: people across the organization, including learning leaders and business decision-makers, who help build the architecture and culture needed for continuous growth.

Combining strategic frameworks with practical guidance, this new edition redefines learning as the foundation for nimble organizations operating in an era shaped by AI, complexity and constant transition. It explores how to create value and data-driven environments in which people and innovative technologies learn with and from one another to accelerate innovation and organizational performance.

You'll learn how to:
- Build a strategy of continuous learning and adaptability in liminal times
- Integrate AI and learning technologies effectively in corporate architectures
- Develop future-proof competencies and translate them into practical wisdom
- Apply value and data-driven learning models to business strategy
- Navigate global ethical challenges around Agentic AI and performance management

This book draws upon Katja's own models, from the Lean Learning Framework and the Learning Maturity Model for Organizations to the newly introduced Cognitive Learning Ecosystems and the paradigm of the 6 Moment of Learning. Supported by expert insights and international real-world examples, Learning Ecosystems provides a clear roadmap for embedding learning into the core of organizational success.

Themes include: cognitive learning ecosystems, human-AI collaboration, skills vs tasks, human competencies, learning mindset, practical wisdom, liminal leadership, continuous improvement, global ethics, and learning technologies
