Barriers to Learning and How to Overcome Them

By -

 



Organizational learning is the process of creating, retaining, and transferring knowledge within an organization. An organization improves over time as it gains experience. From this experience, it is able to create knowledge. This knowledge is broad, covering any topic that could better an organization. Examples may include ways to increase production efficiency or to develop beneficial investor relations. Knowledge is created at four different units: individual, group, organizational, and inter organizational.

The most common way to measure organizational learning is a learning curve. Learning curves are a relationship showing how as an organization produces more of a product or service, it increases its productivity, efficiency, reliability and/or quality of production with diminishing returns. Learning curves vary due to organizational learning rates. Organizational learning rates are affected by individual proficiency, improvements in an organization's technology, and improvements in the structures, routines and methods of coordination.

    Yes and also Several challenges may be identified during the organizational learning process. Milway and Saxton (2011) suggest three challenges related to goals, incentives and processes.
    Generational issues and employee turnover are also challenging that organizations might have to consider.

    Yes Chethani, the barriers you have mentioned in this article are common in any organization. Employers should create more interactive and modern strategies like gamification to help employees in learning and development. This will enable to motivate the employees to be interested more in L & D. Fostering an educated and skillful workforce should be achievable by using modern strategies by employers.
