After laying the ground work of Human & Organizational Performance, we pretty quickly start to lean towards the use of Learning Teams. Getting operational learning happening is a critical step of the HOP journey.
What's so scary about that?
Listen in:
But really, what's the best way to learn how to do a learning team? Do a learning team.
I know, I know, it feels scary. Heck, it is scary! Doing something a bit different is always scary. But don't let that stop you - don't let that fear keep you from getting started.
You can counter some of those heebie jeebies by prepping, and prepping well. There are many great books out there that will provide you with a straightforward approach to Learning Teams and offer you some practical tips for success - books like 10 Ideas and Bob's Guide to name a couple.
We also have many great free resources HERE, multiple BLOG posts, and tons of episodes on The HOP Nerd Podcast that can help get you ready.
"Ok, you've convinced me to facilitate my first Learning Team, now what?"
A few things:
Pick a "safe to fail" starting point
Prep some "better questions" prior to your sessions
Be curious
Learn for the sake of learning
Lastly, don't be afraid of getting it a bit wrong, because you are going to. We all get it wrong. That's how this works - we experiment, we try, we test, we learn, and we improve. There is nothing perfect about that. In fact, getting great at Learning Teams usually involves a healthy dose of getting wrong.
