Turn collaborative learning into your competitive advantage

“Social platforms facilitate the construction of a culture of collaborative learning, connecting with experts, motivating people to take ownership of the learning process, sharing their experiences, teaching and learning from each other, to collectively address learning needs as they arise. The collaborative platform is there for them to grow, learn and share.” José Cabrera – CEO Cabrera MC

The organizational learning model, as a process of improving the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of the organization, both individually and collectively, has always been open to constant debate, among other things because of its implications on leadership and organizational culture. But if there is something that the pandemic has taught us, it is the urgent need to reinvent organizational learning based on the values, needs and ways of doing digital professionals.

Despite huge sums spent on a wide range of online capacity building programs, the results seem mixed at best. And although many organizations already include Online training In their learning paths, few would say these programs are successful. That’s because most of these programs consist of static videos, “try again” assessments if you fail, and very light pass metrics. As a result, skills gaps are widening, knowledge disappears when employees leave the organization, and companies are forced to invest millions in ongoing training programs.

We believe that this must change, and in this direction we have been working in recent years to revolutionize corporate learning, to provide companies with a platform that makes collaborative learning possible. as a social experience. Today our vision is a reality, and there are already many organizations that use the Neurok platform as a Collaborative LMS for practical learning, less focused on content and more on collaborative activities that ensure the application of the skills learned to solve real problems of the organization.

I think I’m not wrong when I say that the new skills needed to compete in a world where disruption is the norm are the bottleneck to innovation. Annual training programs and skills matrices used to be the answer, but they are too complex and time-consuming for today’s demands. So it’s no surprise that organizations are looking for modern platforms to revamp their L&D by leveraging new social ways of learning to close skills gaps as they arise. The only way to maintain an edge over the competition and win the talent war is to capture expert knowledge and retain the best.. Collaborative learning helps you build a more flexible and adaptable workforce, foster strong learning and engagement, and create a culture of continuous learning.

What makes collaborative learning different?

Collaborative learning puts people at the center of learning. Neurok as a collaborative LMS, makes it possible for people to take ownership of the learning process and connect with the challenges that really matter and affect their work. Peer-to-peer learning makes it possible for growth-minded individuals to continually expand their knowledge, and the results they truly desire in collaboration with their peers, sharing best practices and collectively addressing organizational challenges.

At Neurok each team member can address their own learning needs, collaborating with others to convene courses based on their own knowledge and experiences. In this way, expert knowledge is captured and made accessible for the benefit of the entire organization. This makes each course a commitment to continuous learning and keeps teams focused on sharing and acquiring knowledge as effectively as possible through peer-to-peer interaction.

A collaborative learning platform like Neurok can keep employees ahead of change by creating courses in days, not months. This allows your company to react quickly to technology acceleration, industry disruption or unpredictable events. So your people will love it and it’s no wonder that our Acelera Collaborative Learning Programs based on Neurok have a completion rate above 93% and NPSs above 8 consistently.

The new role of L&D

El aprendizaje colaborativo tiene grandes implicaciones en la forma en que los equipos de L&D brindan resultados de aprendizaje. Mas allá de tener que programar cursos, hacer un seguimiento de los alumnos cuando los completen y enviar solicitudes de comentarios, los equipos de L&D pueden convertirse en motores de la transformación, creando y cultivando un Ecosistema de Aprendizaje, donde personas con mentalidad de crecimiento expanden continuamente sus conocimientos para crear los resultados que realmente desean. Donde se libera la innovación colectiva, donde las personas aprenden continuamente entre pares, asumen cada vez más la responsabilidad de su propio desarrollo y ponen en practica las conductas irrenunciables para la transformación.

Mas allá de la formación programática, en el aprendizaje colaborativo los profesionales de L&D son responsables de escalar los resultados del aprendizaje. A medida que los equipos crean más cursos, los entrenadores guían a las personas a través de sus experiencias de aprendizaje, asegurando que las necesidades de aprendizaje se satisfagan con los cursos correctos y asegurando que los cursos sean lo más efectivos posible. Este nuevo rol ayuda a L&D a realizar un seguimiento exacto de cómo el aprendizaje colaborativo impulsa el crecimiento y mejora los resultados del aprendizaje. 

En un mundo donde los empleados están cada vez más dispuestos a cambiar de trabajo, una cultura de aprendizaje es más importante que nunca. Una plataforma que aproveche el aprendizaje colaborativo es clave para desarrollar una cultura empresarial de aprendizaje continuo, más flexible, descentralizada y enriquecedora. Una que ayuda a los empleados a compartir sus experiencias, y desarrollar sus habilidades y carreras en colaboración con sus compañeros.
