    The current l earning landscape has changed in res ponse to the rapidly evolving development needs of employees. The skill needs of the lineare becom ing increasingly complex, and employees want to l earn in new and different ways. To influence the quality of learning across the

    many platforms employees are using, L&D profess ionals have tried to extend their reach by building a culture of learning.

    To date, most L&D functions have focused largely on building a culture of learning participation-more learning activity and program attendance.All that learn ing participation is not having the des ired impact and is, instead, creating a lot of was te. Emp loyees are was ting approximately11% of their work time on unproductive learning. This costs the average L&D function $5 m illion in wasted budget, and the average

    organization over $130 mill ion in los t employee productivity each year.

    The m ost progressive L&D functions are responding to a changing learning landscape, not by driving more learning participation, but byreducing learning was te. To do this, they are focusing on building a productive learning culture by curating relevant and appropriate learning

    opportunities, teaching learners how to learn, and fostering the em ployees responsibility for the learning of those around them.

    This step-by-step guide will prove useful as you look to build a productive learning culture within your organization. As always, our aim is toprovide insights and tools that drive your success.

    FROM A CULTURE OF LEARNING PARTICIPATION

    TO A PRODUCTIVE LEARNING CULTURE

    L&D functions need to

    shift their approach

    from building a culture

    of learning participation

    to building a productive

    learning culture.

    Culture of Learning Participation Productive Learning Culture

    Key Components:

    1. Increasing Choice:High volume and

    variety of learning opportunities.

    2. Building Learning:Learning designed

    to teach new business skills and

    knowledge.

    3. Promoting Employee Ownership of

    Individual Learning: Focus on individual

    ownership for learning participation.

    Key Com ponents:

    1. Directing Choice:Select number of relevant

    and appropriate learning opportunities.

    2. Building Learners: Learning designed to

    teach how to learn new business skills and

    knowledge.

    3. Driving Shared Ownership of Learning

    Environment:Focus on shared ownership

    for building a learning environment.

    CEBS MODEL OF A PRODUCTIVE LEARNING CULTURE

    The Three Components of a Product ive Learning Culture

    Source: C EB analysis.

    1

    Learning Opportunity

    Employees have access to

    a select number of relevant

    learning choices, not a high

    volume and variety.

    Learning Capability

    Employees know how to

    learn, not just which new

    business skills and

    knowledge to learn.

    Employees share ownership of the learning environment, not just their individual learning.

    In a productive learning culture, what and how employees learn is driven by the right learning opportunity , capability, and environment.

    UNDERSTANDING LEARNING OPPORTUNITYL&D should ensure thatemployees engage in

    both the right amount of

    learning, and the right

    types of learning

    opportunities.

    The Right Amount of Learning The Right Type of Learning

    Traditional

    Approach:

    Promote learning

    and drive greater

    participation

    in learning

    opportunities

    Provide More Opportunities

    L&D focuses on increas ing the number

    of l earning opportunities.

    Respond to Learning Needs

    Performance

    The Right

    Approach:

    Refocus L&D and

    line investments to

    right-size

    relevant learning

    activity.

    Control Learning Choice

    L&D actively limits and curates the

    learning opportunities provided by the

    organization.

    Assess Learning Maturity

    L&D al igns opportunities to consider

    both learning needs and learning

    maturity.

    Employees with the right

    amount of learning

    opportunities have 7% higher

    performance than those with

    too many opportunities.

    EXPLORING LEARNING CAPABILITY

    Two Types of Learning BehaviorsMaximum Impact of Employee Behaviors on Performance

    L&D needs to prioritize

    building productive, not

    just participative,

    behaviors.

    More than half of employeesare effective at participative

    behaviors, however, these

    behaviors have a lim ited

    impact on employee

    performance.

    Productive behaviors have a

    more s ignificant impact on

    employee performance, but

    only one in five employees is

    effective at these behaviors.

    Categories of Participative Behaviors

    Multi-Channel Utilization: Pursues learning

    opportunities from multiple sources both inside and

    outside the organization.

    Learning Receptivity: Engages in learning beyond

    current job res pons ibilities and anticipates outcomes

    for application.

    Continuous Learning:Attempts to learn as much

    and as regularly as pos sible while performing job

    tasks and in formal clas sroom settings.

    DEFINING A PRODUCTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

    Maximum Impact of Attribute on Performance

    L&D must focus on

    building a learning

    environment with the

    attributes that support

    productive learning.

    Few em ployees report

    that their organizationhas an environment with

    the five attributes

    necessary for a

    productive learning

    environment.

    n = 23,764.Source: CEB 2014 Learning C ulture Survey.

    Attribute Definition

    Fair Employees perceive that learning opportunities are fairly distributed and learning

    contributions are as sessed fairly.

    Open Employees feel open to giving and receiving learning contributions from others.

    Relevant Employees perceive that relevant learning contributions are exchanged between

    employees.

    Safe Employees feel safe taking risks and failing when learning.

    Clear Employees perceive learning processes, practices , and opportuni ties to be clear

    and simple.

    2. SET GOALS FOR PROPOSED LEARNING CULTURE CHANGEEstablish goals to addressareas of improvement in your

    current learning culture, and

    link these goals with the

    organization's business

    strategy.

    Create tangible goals that

    aim to im prove specific

    aspects of your

    organizations learning

    culture.

    Align goals for creating a

    learning culture with your

    organizations overall

    business s trategy to create

    urgency for a productive

    learning culture.

    Link Goals for a Productive Learning Culture With Strategy

    Sample Template

    As you link your culture goals to businessstrategy, be sure to:

    Identify Current Demands on the

    BusinessLink culture strategy to the internal

    and external dem ands on the bus iness to set

    the tone that L&D understands the pressures

    on the business and is i nterested in addressing

    those challenges.

    Support Existing Business GoalsIllustratethe value of a learning culture by grounding it in

    the organizationsbroader strategy and

    discussing how it can support other initiatives

    within the business.

    Keep the Strategy SimpleEnsure the

    learning culture strategy is actionable by

    keeping goals simple and clearly articulating

    the next s teps your function intends to take.

    Avoid focusing too narrowly on L&D-centric

    goals.

    When creating L&D goals for the learning culture strategy, be sure to:

    Prioritize Business ImpactThere are likely a num ber of learning culture

    areas for im provement, so devote attention to thos e that will directly

    support larger s trategic initiatives within the business.

    3. IDENTIFY PARTNERS FOR CHANGE INITIATIVEIdentify stakeholders thatwill play a role in

    achieving your learning

    culture goals, and work to

    secure their buy-in.

    Identify the primary

    stakeholders outside of L&D

    that will have an im pact on

    learning culture and involve

    these partners early to

    secure their buy-in.

    Comm unicate with

    stakeholders throughout the

    process to gain valuable

    feedback and adjuststrategy as necessary.

    Key Tips for Engaging Stakeholders

    Identify Executive ChampionsIdentify potential executive supporters to ask for feedback on early drafts of the learningculture strategy; this increases the likelihood of them supporting and championing it.

    Pressure Test Ideas with Individuals Outside L&DThroughout the change process, pres sure test initiatives w ith individuals

    outside L&D and incorporate external pers pectives.

    Outline the Ask at the EndEnsure stakeholders understand what is required to deliver the desired learning culture strategyby clearly outlining next steps and needs .

    Keep Momentum and Communication Lines OpenRegularly update stakeholders on progress made against the learning

    strategy to sustain support.

    4. AUDIT THE LEARNING PORTFOLIOAssess your currentlearning portfolio to

    understand the learning

    options available to

    employees across the

    organization.

    Compile resources to

    determine the current mix of

    learning content available

    at your organization.

    Asses s whether employees

    have access to the right

    suite of learning res ources.

    Learning Portfolio Audit

    Process

    Conduct an inventory of all officiallearning res ources and categorize eachresource by type (E-learning, classroomtraining, peer learning, etc.)

    Record the busines s initiative (e.g.,leadership development, technical skillstraining, compliance, etc.) that eachlearning resource supports

    Ask Yourself:

    Are all learning offerings in our portfoliocurrent and up to date?

    Is the amount of learning availableoverwhelming?

    Step 1: Classify Learning Step 3: Understand LocalPriorities

    Step 2: Analyze Learning Mix

    Analyze the as sortm ent of learningofferings (E-learning, classroom,mentors hip, etc.) that fall under eachcontent type

    Analyze the as sortm ent of learningresources that are devoted to each areaof the busines s

    Ask Yourself:

    Are we satisfied with the mix of learningcontent in our learning portfolio?

    Are we focusing on som e learningopportunities more than necessary?

    Review with line managers whether thecurrent learning m ix reflects localbusiness goals

    Use line feedback to identify existingformal and informal l earning offeringsthat may not be ali gned with businessstrategy

    Ask Yourself:

    Are our formal and informal developm entopportunities addressing the m ostimportant business needs?

    Are there areas in our portfolio where weshould focus m ore, or less, attention?

    5. ELIMINATE UNPRODUCTIVE LEARNINGWork with linestakeholders and key

    L&D team members to

    eliminate, or rework,

    learning resources that

    may be unproductive.

    Address learning that is

    redundant, stale, or

    mis aligned with business

    strategy to craft a more

    consumable learning

    portfolio.

    Provide employees with

    learning resources that are

    actionable and relevant to

    their job duties.

    Filter 1:

    Relevance toEmployees

    1. Assess Content Effectiveness Using Data

    Inputs Include:

    LMS Data: Employee participation rate, learningcompletion rate, learning abandonment rate

    Employee Learning Assessment Data:Potential oflearning content to improve learners performance andachieve development goals, effectiveness of learningat teaching and applying a new skil l, and whether theywould recomm end the learning to peers working in asimilar role

    Process for Evaluating Potentially Unproductive Learning

    2. Assess Content Relevance With Lines Input

    Consider:

    Key goals of your business strategy

    Talent implications of the business strategy

    Current and projected business goals

    Demands of changing work environment

    Whether the specific learning intervention is necessary toaddress a business need

    Whether the business need can be better addres sed throughother interventions

    Divest

    If the learning content suffers from poor

    efficiency and there is no pressing

    business need for the skill, elim inate the

    content from your portfolio.

    Low Content Effectiveness High Content Effectiveness

    Low ContentRelevance

    High ContentRelevance

    Reposition

    If there is s till a market for the content but

    the current material is proving ineffective,

    the learning offering is a prime candidate

    to be reworked to meet current employee

    needs.

    Reposition

    If the content is currently popular or

    effective at creating new skills, but has

    little relevance to current business goals,

    consider retooling the learning to be more

    aligned with business s trategy.

    Maintain

    If the content is both efficient and relevant

    to current business needs, the learning

    has value and should remain in your

    portfolio.

    6. ALIGN NEW INVESTMENTS WITH STRATEGIC VALUETo avoid creatingirrelevant or misaligned

    learning content, apply

    stringent needs analysis

    processes to proposed

    L&D projects.

    Limit the creation of newcontent to high-value

    projects s o that your

    learning portfolio remains

    impactful and relevant.

    Only invest in new learning

    if there is a valid bus iness

    need that cannot be met

    with existing content.

    7. IDENTIFY LEARNING BEHAVIORS THAT DRIVE PERFORMANCEWork with key HR and L&Dteam members to prioritize

    the most important

    employee behaviors to

    build through learning.

    Work with the line todetermine employees

    current skill gaps and

    learning behaviors.

    Prioritize a li st of key

    learning behaviors that

    employees lack and are also

    critical for executing

    business strategy.

    Step 1: Review comm on productive learning behaviors and

    assess their relevance to your organization

    Step 3: Prioritize a set of learning behaviors to build

    through formal and informal learning.

    CEB L&Ds Product ive Learning Behaviors

    Prioritizes high im pact learning opportunities

    Extracts useful information from learning

    experiences

    Sources as sistance from internal/ external networks

    Solicits diverse input

    Shares subject matter knowledge with others

    Reflects on potential uses, and lim its, of learning

    Tips to Create a List of Learning Behaviors

    Use l ine input to prioritize those behaviors that have

    the mos t impact on business outcomes. Focus on learning behaviors that will allow

    employees to thrive in both current and future roles.

    Consider how em ployee learning behaviors maydiffer by level and role.

    Avoid vague termino logy and specifically define eachcritical learning behavior.

    Consider specific examples of employees exhibiting,

    or not exhibiting, the competency when articulatingeach critical behavior.

    Ensure the list is tangible and allows m anagers and

    peers to evaluate perform ance on each behavior.

    Step 2: Solicit line input on the learning behaviors they

    believe are most im portant

    Interview Questions for Line Leaders*

    In which areas are employees performing well, and whereare they underperforming?

    What are the most im portant skills for employees, and

    why are they so important? How do employees buildthese skills?

    How have employee skill needs changed over the lastseveral years? In what ways do you expect them tofurther change in the future?

    How do employees typically address their own skill gaps ?

    *Avoid asking for line input on specifi c learning behaviors . Use the lines open feedback toreinforc e, or challenge, your perceptions of critic al learning behaviors.

    8. EMBED KEY BEHAVIORS INTO EXISTING PROGRAMSEmbed the identified keylearning behaviors into

    existing learning

    programs, prioritizing a

    few programs to pilot.

    Examine the urgency and

    ease of i ntegrating learning

    behaviors into existing

    programs.

    Introducing learning

    behaviors into existing

    programs enables L&D to

    target specific populations

    quickly, and helps achieve

    quick wins in the drive for

    culture change.

    Identify your target population

    Senior Leaders Frontline Managers Individual Contributors

    What are some of the programs offered for this population?

    Does the program currently contain any learning activities that create a natural opportunity for building productive

    learning behaviors? Or could you embed such learning activities into the program?

    Directions: Identify a set of L&D program s that focus on a target population. Then answer the remaining questions to identify a program in

    which learning behaviors can be piloted. After you have finished the pilot, you can use these ques tions to identify both quick wins in terms

    of learning behavior integration as well as s ome programs that would require a m ore substantial redesign.

    9. EMBED LEARNING BEHAVIORS INTO DAILY WORKFLOWSWork with the line tocreate opportunities for

    employees to build key

    learning behaviors

    through their daily tasks

    and responsibilities.

    Use li ne input to identify

    existing work opportunities

    that are ideal for building

    learning behaviors.

    Consider the investment

    and relative impact that

    would result from

    embedding learning

    behaviors into a specificwork opportunity before

    undertaking the initiative.

    Build Learning Behaviors Through Work OpportunitiesGuide to Identifying Appropriate Work Opportunities

    Interview Questions for Line Leaders

    When do employees typically share job-relevant

    information, ideas, or challenge each others

    thought processes?

    Are there existing meetings that would benefit byincreasing the intentionality of s haring learning and

    feedback during the meeting?

    What are the bes t opportunities for employees to

    learn som ething new or practice applying a s kill

    differently?

    Are there any changes that occur on the job or

    during transitions where employees need to revisit

    their learning?

    What tasks or processes require employees to

    apply complex skills s uch as critical thinking ormanaging am biguity? Would any of these tasks

    benefit from increasing the intentionality of learning

    during the process?

    Step 1: Work with the line to identify opportunities to

    embed learning behaviors in daily workflows

    Step 2:Asses s the feasibility of embedd ing learning

    behaviors into each opportunity

    Do employees engage in the identified workopportunity regularly?

    Will em ployees have time to reflect on what

    theyre learning and how it can apply to their dai ly

    tasks?

    Can learning behaviors be integrated into the work

    opportunity without a significant negative effect on

    work deadlines or processes?

    Will learning from the identified work opportunity

    be exportable, i.e. will employees be able to apply

    the learning m ore broadly in their daily work?

    After the work opportunity, will employees be ableto share their learning with others, to extend theirknowledge throughout the organization?

    Will em ployees be able to independently

    conduct the identified work opportunity without

    active facilitation from L&D (beyond an initial roll-

    out ses sion)?

    If you answered yes to most of the questions

    above, you have identified a good opportunity to

    embed learning behaviors.

    10. RAISE AWARENESS OF HOW TO SUPPORT A PRODUCTIVE

    LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

    Work with managers and

    other senior leaders to use

    team meetings, or other

    group settings, to make

    employees aware of the role

    they play in supporting a

    learning environment.

    Encourage teams to dis cuss

    their role in creating a

    learning culture, and the

    steps they will each need to

    take to support a productive

    learning environment.

    Teams dis cuss plans to

    support the pos itive change

    initia tive, and the s teps they

    will each need to take.

    Use Managers to Discuss Employees Roles in the Learning EnvironmentSample Discussion Agenda for Team Meeting

    1. Outlining the Importance of a Learning Environment

    We work together to execute strategy and grow our skills both individually and

    as an organization. We should

    Openly discuss improvement areas that will allow us to work better together;

    Seek and accept feedback from stakeholders and coworkers; and

    Provide clear opportunities for team m embers to develop new skills and

    talents.

    2. Team Discussion Questions

    On our team, how can we help each other develop, while sim ultaneously

    achieving business results?

    Should we be doing som e tasks differently than we currently do?

    What are the rewards for ensuring our decisions support a productive

    learning environment?

    3. Plan for Action

    On our team, what s teps do we need to take as a group to achieve a

    productive learning environment?

    What respons ibilities does each em ployee hold for s upporting the learning

    environment?

    How will we hold each other accountable for supporting a learningenvironment?

    During the discussion, managerspresent the organizationsgeneraldefinition of a productive learningculture and then lead their teams ina di scussion to help them discoverwhy s upporting a learningenvironment is important, and thenext steps in s upporting it.

    The Benefits of Using Managers as Discussion Facilitators

    Managers have

    more credibility with their teams than L&D and are adept at holding team conversations.

    the authority to ensure that teams focus on the right topics and to redirect the conversation as needed.

    the ability to oversee em ployees and ensure that the plan for supporting a learning environment is carried out.

    12. HOLD MANAGERS AND EMPLOYEES ACCOUNTABLE

    FOR THE LEARNING OF OTHERS

    Hold employees

    accountable for enabling

    a learning environment by

    identifying hard and soft

    accountability measures.

    Embed learning behaviors

    into formal performance

    management processes to

    hold em ployees accoun table

    for supporting a learning

    environment.

    Use team-bas ed rewards

    and recognition to s ignal the

    importance of supporting

    others learning.

    Tips for Creating Shared Formal and Informal Accountability

    Tips for Formal Accountability MeasuresUse formal performance management to hold employees

    accountable for driving a supportive learning environment

    Set the expectation that all employees, not just leaders,

    enable a learning environment through performance

    objectives or competencies.

    Hold em ployees accountable for demonstrating the right

    learning behaviors, not com pleting learning activities.

    Outline the learning behaviors expected at each employee

    level to increase understanding of how employees can

    successfully meet their performance goals.

    Provide concrete examples of how employees can

    demonstrate each learn ing behavior effectively.

    Empower m anagers to recognize, coach, and ass ess, not

    jus t unders tand, the right learning behaviors.

    Focus employees on learning behaviors within work, notjus t formal trainings .

    Use team-based, rather than individual, recognition to

    motivate employees to support the learning environment.

    Recognize teams and individuals that contribute to the

    learning of others, and share great ideas w ith one another.

    Provide concrete examples to employees of what it m eans to

    enable a learning environment.

    Reward teams that achieve tangible business outcomes

    while als o contributing to a learning environment.

    Create rewards that are group focused (e.g., sports

    competition), not individual focused (e.g., gift certi ficate).

    Stress the intentionality of s upporting a learning environment

    within each group-oriented reward

    Use s uccess stories to comm unicate the learning behaviors

    that rewarded teams exhibit, dont sim ply publicize those

    that are recognized.

    13. IDENTIFY METRICS TO TRACK LEARNING PRODUCTIVITYEvaluate the productivityof your learning culture

    with a core set of metrics

    that track progress

    towards strategic

    objectives.

    Obtain metrics that allow

    your organization to

    discover the impact of

    learning initiatives.

    When tracking learning

    culture productivity, consider

    which metrics would be

    feasible to collect and

    provide accurate data.

    List Strategic Objectives

    What does L&D need to deliver to help the

    business achieve its strategic priorities?

    1

    Determine Factors That Influence Objectives

    What actions and/or behaviors enable L&D to

    achieve each objective?

    What initiatives (if executed successfully) will

    influence achievement of the objective?

    2

    Select Detailed Measures

    Which metrics will be the mos t helpful for us to

    track (e.g., leading indicator, quantitative metrics

    versus subjective and/or qualitative metrics)?

    What trade-offs should be made s o that we focus

    on only the m ost important metrics and do not

    track too much?

    Consider using measures such as time, em ployee

    popula tion, expense, etc.

    3

    Identify Raw Data Measures

    What data can be defined and captured

    consistently across relevant areas?

    What data can we dis aggregate to present more

    precise m easures (and thus execute better risk

    management)?

    Consider using measures such as rates, ratios,

    compositions, indices, etc.

    Addressing Opportunities and Risks

    Fully Evaluate Current StateBefore describing a

    new course of action, be s ure to fully unders tand whyyour initiative is succeeding, or falling behind.

    Weigh Opportunities and RisksWhen outlining the

    next steps of your s trategy, consider the possible

    ramifications of each s ubsequent action on both the

    L&D function and external stakeholders.

    Keep Stakeholders Involved Stakeholders will be

    involved throughout the culture initiative, so its

    important to continually update them on progress

    towards key goals.

    Describing Current Progress Towards Goals

    Source Line Input Line managers have

    valuable ins ight into the daily operations of thebusiness, so s eek their input when describing

    current progress towards key goals

    Be Specific- Clearly outline what actions have

    been taken to date, and whether they have

    been successful in order to best determine the

    appropriate plan of action.

    Include Data Where HelpfulMetrics can be

    a valuable, objective source for determining

    the current state of your learning culture so

    include them where applicable.
