An organisational learning strategy is a detailed plan that organisations like yours use to develop an L&D culture. The plan maps out the cohorts that exist in your business, what their unique learning needs are and what strategies and methods of learning would most engage them and motivate them to learn and develop. Having a learning strategy means learning is not developed piecemeal, but rather is unified, on brand and in line with your organisation’s vision and values. Also, our strategies are not just words on a page, they come with what we call a ‘Learning Style Guide’; robust and development-ready learning templates designed to put lofty ideals into practical application.

Culture can most easily be described as the way people like us do things round here. An L&D culture therefore, is the way your organisation approaches learning. Are people rolling their eyes when asked to attend learning, or are they chomping at the bit, keen to dive in? Is learning developed in a systematic, learner-centric way that understands human-centred design, or is it a hodge-podge of PowerPoints and learning artefacts that people are constantly redeveloping because they’re just not quite right?

Learning is the lifeblood of a business, and yet, all too often, it’s neglected. Rather than pumping goodness through the organisation, it’s clogging up arteries, causing the organisation to limp along. A strong L&D culture will inadvertently mean your business thrives.

We certainly can. To give you a glimpse of how we’ve tackled challenges like this in the past, we invite you to explore our case studies page. There, you’ll find a collection of projects spanning various industries. We particularly invite you to look at the work we did with the Department of Justice in Victoria, and MMP in NSW. These were an excellent example of learning strategies that shifted culture.

Collaboration, collaboration and then some more collaboration. We can’t provide you with a cookie-cutter approach in this instance. Culture, like identity, is a personal matter. No two businesses are the same.

However, we have developed some tried and true methods of collaborating that help us get to the key issues quickly. To read more about our process in full, CLICK HERE.

Part of the design of our process is that we work with you on the first few learning projects to road-test the approaches. As lovers of learning, we don’t believe in one-and-done. It’s through reiteration and review, curiosity and courage, tweaking a bit here and leveraging a bit there that the melding of art and science weave their magic to create the end product. If you work with us, you are partnering up for a journey where we stick with you till our work with you is done and you are functioning beautifully without us anymore.

Hungry Minds is a genuine partnership among learning design specialists. This service, that of cooking up learning cultures, is one of those specialties.

Bec Jeffrey leads the helm. Becca has a rare kinda mind. She can grasp big picture at super sonic speed, while simultaneously drilling down into finer details to easily identify next steps. It scares us regularly. Her years of experience as a social scientist and adult educator means her learning designs and understanding of people are exceptional. As a corporate consultant, she has worked with some of Australia’s most iconic brands to build exceptional learning cultures that have shifted behaviour.

Working as Robin to her Batman is Daniel. For over two decades, he has dedicated himself to not just educating but inspiring and engaging individuals at a deep level, with the idea that it’s not about how much you can learn but about how much you care about learning. His motivation lies in coaching individuals to develop resilience and strength across the emotional, intellectual, and physical spectrums of their lives. In the realm of building better ways of doing things, Dan is a vital asset to the cause.

Backing Learning Labs is the partnership of Hungry Minds. Hungry Minds has team members in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. Led by their fearless directors, Bianca Schimizzi and Michael Peart, this group know learning. The backing of this team means that Learning Labs is big enough to meet your needs while still being small enough to care about you as an individual. We call ourselves the ‘Golidlock team’.
