‘Learning culture’ is a term that TrainingZone contributors have, over the years, both advocated for and criticised. It’s been dubbed the foundations of what makes a high-performing, future-ready organisation, and contrastingly deemed another vacuous buzzword to throw on the hype pile. Why are there such mixed views? As a media partner of the Culture Pioneer Awards, TrainingZone believes cultivating a thriving workplace culture fuels high performance.

As a part of the judging panel for last year’s Culture Pioneer Awards, it was a real privilege to work alongside others from the L&D industry. And to have the opportunity to read about some of the great work that is going on in organisations across the UK. One of the things that struck me as I read through entries in the Learning Category was how challenging it is to gather and present solid evidence of culture change.

I have often been deeply concerned about the effectiveness of many leadership development programmes. It's not that they are uninteresting or lack fascination. The real issue is the lack of lasting behaviour change that should be the hallmark of such programmes.

In an era defined by rapid technological advances and shifting global markets, the role of Chief Learning Officers (CLO) is evolving more dynamically than ever before. Gone are the days when learning leads were solely responsible for traditional training and development programmes. Today, they are strategic partners in shaping the future of their organisations, tasked with anticipating changes and building the capabilities needed to thrive in the landscape of tomorrow.

There was a time, not so long ago, where successful career growth was seen as strictly linear. Employees were expected to climb the '“'career ladder'”', from an entry-level position to a senior role, then to the manager, etc checking off an established set of accomplishments along the way. Today, that structure has changed and rightly so moving to an increased focus on the importance of personal and well-rounded growth.
