Learning Teams Inc supports the building of a better community of practice for Learning Teams facilitators and practitioners.Learning Teams from Dr Todd Conklin, PhD, are part of a way of looking at safety, quality and operational excellence differently by a facilitated approach to worker engagement and supporting the empowerment of people to own safety, quality or operational excellence. A Learning Team is notable because it encourages organisations to obtain and consider different perspectives and angles of functional diversity to define a problem in a group context. A Learning Team involves facilitated engagement (using a facilitator) with workers to understand and then learn from the opportunities that are presented by:1) Everyday successful and safe work (Everyday Learning Teams)2) Events or incidents that could have or did harm workers (Event Learning Teams)3) Introduction of changes (Management of change) that could affect worker safety (Periodic Learning Teams).Learning Teams support both worker learning and organisational learning by allowing the different stakeholders groups to understand better what, when, how, and why, people do things differently rather than following formal, written procedures or systems. By understanding what is necessary to make sure things go right, it is possible to focus on ensuring that factors which make things go right are present in the workplace every day. In the book Dr Todd Conklin states:"The Practice of Learning Teams will become a powerful resource in changing the way organisations learn and improve their operations. This book is easy to read and full of great concepts that can be used as soon as you read them. I love a book where you read an idea in the morning and try the same idea that very afternoon."
