Corporate learning
Develop shared capabilities around the work your organization needs to perform more effectively.
Translate a business priority into a learning need
Corporate learning begins with a change in the work. A team may need to evaluate new markets consistently, improve the quality of investment proposals, introduce AI into a process or coordinate a transformation across functions. The learning need becomes clearer when the required behaviors and decisions are described explicitly.
The initial discussion should identify the audience, its starting knowledge, the work it owns and the obstacles it faces. This helps separate a knowledge gap from a problem involving incentives, authority, tools or process design. Training can address capability; its application also depends on the working environment.
Build a sequence around application
A practical learning sequence connects preparation, facilitated discussion and assignments based on relevant situations. Shared examples give the group a common language. Smaller exercises allow participants to practise a method before applying it to a more complex organizational question.
For an AI opportunity assessment, a team could define the process, document the information available, identify exceptions and compare potential value with implementation constraints. Reviewing the work together makes differences in assumptions and responsibilities visible.
Agree what progress will look like
Evidence of learning can include a stronger analysis, a clearer decision brief, more consistent evaluation criteria or the ability to explain and apply a method without assistance. Attendance and satisfaction are useful signals, but do not by themselves demonstrate that capability has improved.
Agree the intended outputs, the role of managers and the opportunity to use the learning after the sessions. Review should consider both the quality of participants' work and the conditions that help or prevent it from being adopted.
Discuss a corporate learning need with the Academy. Include the business priority, the participant roles, the approximate group size and the timescale you are considering.
