Modern Learning Is a Team Sport: A Playbook for Achieving Organizational Alignment

Great things happen in the workplace when you achieve alignment among teams. You say goodbye to skepticism and confusion. Decisions happen faster. Employees are happier.

In business as in sports, when players know their role, connect as a team, clearly communicate the game strategy and flawlessly execute on the plays...well, magic happens. This can be especially true when making the move to modern workplace learning.

Achieving alignment around a modern learning strategy is key for creating a modern learning culture within your organization—a winning culture that makes learning and development a core component of your corporate DNA. But what if there isn’t alignment around your modern learning game plan? According to Bersin by Deloitte, learning and development within the enterprise is more aligned when it speaks the same language as the business, when it understands and communicates with all stakeholders, and when it is focused. But lack of alignment across teams and players can mean that the execution of a modern learning strategy becomes a costly, losing game. It is estimated that employee misunderstanding costs businesses $37 billion a year.

So, let’s pull together the right plays and get the entire team rallied around modern learning as a winning objective.
