Your source for learningEverybody learns through Springest, the Learnest company of all
Best Employer of 2014 + 2015, #45 Exponential Organisation
Why does this matter?Fake sense of security and control
Lack of responsiveness and innovation
Learning has to be self-directed, not top down
Millenials: Training & Development = #1 benefit
What’s your why?
Look at
organisational
structure as a
source of learning
70 / 20 / 10 anyone…?
Is all potential used?

How do
things
really get
done?
35 empl.
230 roles
7 per person
5 changes / wk
Evolution, not creationism (“design”)
Impact of Holacracy
Less bullshitting: shorter meetings
Clarity in roles: more accountability
Unified system: upgraded GTD
Project visibility: less synchronization
Impact of Holacracy on Learning
People drop and accept new roles easily
Roles change based on learnings
People dare to share roles and learnings
Accountabilities are a framework for learning
What happens if we… don’t?
Learning providers keep increasing
Learning products increase almost exponentially
creativity
through
clarity
flexible learning
through
evolving structure
