Reflection – Learning Launch 

 Challenge 

 I was recently interning with a company in energy sector . Company carries a legacy of more than 100   years with itself . Overall development and care of the employees is the top most priority for the   company . There were multiple learning initiatives which helped employees to learn and grow . Most   of the learning initiatives we had were in the domain of classroom training / workshops and e - learning   modules . There was nothing specific , structured and formal in the space of peer to peer learning . So ,   the challenge for me was to design the sustainable social learning / peer to peer learning framework   and lay down the implementation plan in 2 months . I will try to cover who all were the important   stakeholders involved in solving the problem at hand . 

 Selection 

 As there was no proper historical data available for this problem , hence design thinking came to be   very handy in solving the problem and develop a new concept of peer to peer learning at the company .   I have used learning launch tool to solve and come up with the solution as it involves experimenting   different ideas and prototype as mentioned in the IBM story . 

 Application 

 I started of with first understanding the concept of peer to peer learning and how it is used in   corporate . With the help of external benchmarking I could identify different initiatives used by some   renowned industries in the field of social learning . Then I conducted in depth interviews with   managers and supervisors to understand their level of understanding of the concept and how they   feel about participating in this initiative . 

 Post analysis of interviews , external benchmarking and in - depth secondary research , I realised that   for there should be one common platform for people to communicate and share their best practices .   This way we can give proper structure to the social learning . For this I experimented with one   enterprise networking platform and on boarded few managers onto it . I have developed multiple   templates for the members to share their views . After testing all the sample templates , I could select   best 2 templates that would be used by the members to share their views . This was member started   sharing their best practices which helped other members to learn for their peers . Most of these   templates were like creative posters which were designed after much iteration . Various online   engagement events were planned to build the traction on our networking group . 

 Insights 

 After the application of learning launch tool , I could come up with multiple ideas to drive the culture   of social learning at an organisation . Experimenting different ideas with same group of people helped   me understand what could work in this organisation . Finally , an online platform was developed where   employees could collaborate to solve their issues collectively . Whole foundation of our framework   depends upon element of trust and share . Employees were motivated to share their best practices in   the group so that other can learn from them 

 Approach 

 Future application of this tool should be for another set of specific audience . Next time I would like to   use learning launch tool for senior management employees and narrow down the social learning   approach for building effective and efficient leadership among the line managers . This approach will 

 help future young leaders to learn from industry stalwarts . This way a young and dynamic leadership   pipeline could be built in an organisation .
