How to build a learning organisation
What this course is
Seven lessons on building a business that learns - training your people, keeping what they know, and not starting from scratch every time somebody leaves.
The day your best person leaves, what they knew leaves with them unless you have written it down and taught it.
It feeds the team and operations sections of your business plan.
What you get
- A skills audit of the people you have.
- A skills development plan for the ones you need.
- A statement of results for the lessons you pass.

A lesson a day, in your own time. Or the facilitated week, where somebody takes you through it with other business owners.
Each lesson ends in a quiz. You need 9 of 12 (75%) to pass it, and you get 3 attempts.
The certificate is for the facilitated week. If you study on your own you get a statement of results - a record of the lessons you passed.
Which course this belongs to
These lessons sit inside Business Planning, one of the 5 courses. You have all of this one to read either way.
This tool is part of Business Planning.
The lessons and the quizzes are included with your Standard Account. Business Planning also runs as a facilitated week — five days with a facilitator, a syndicate to work in, a panel of assessors who mark your Friday presentation, and a certificate of attendance. With a Standard Account the lessons stay open to you either way.
