Meet Transformative Learning Transformative learning is the expansion of consciousness through the transformation of worldview and capacities of the self.

It’s an act of changing how we see and do things.

According to researchers, the three dimensions of transformative learning are: Psychological Change in understanding Knowledge, information, models, and theories shift the learner’s understanding and provide the “why.

Behavioral Change in actions The learner uses observation, application, and experimentation to do something differently.

Convictional Revision of belief system The learner permanently shifts a perspective or view, often through an “Aha!” moment or insight.

DO YOU HAVE A TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING CULTURE THAT MAKES YOUR ORGANIZATION MORE SUCCESSFUL? Or do you have a neglected learning culture that breeds conformity and stagnation?

Organizations with neglected learning cultures experience high talent turnover, struggle to keep customers, and ultimately fall behind competitors. These organizations may be profitable in the short term, but they ultimately fail.

Organizations with a transformative culture of learning thrive.

At these organizations, it’s understood that learning is a natural process, that people yearn to grow. These organizations cultivate potential through learning opportunities and experiences.

The role of learning is to maximize the potential of your organization by maximizing the potential of all the people in it.

A SHARED DILEMMA

Employees and employers face the same dilemma these days when it comes to keeping skills sharp; neither have the time nor the money to spend on long-term learning and development opportunities.

Most training and human resource professionals know, however, that there is a direct, positive link between providing meaningful learning and development opportunities to employees and job satisfaction--when you train employees, job satisfaction increases, as does employee retention.

GETTING EMPLOYEE BUY-IN Despite the fact that a recent U.S. Department of Education study found that students participating in E-learning conditions actually out-performed their peers learning the same material in a traditional, face-to-face classroom, some employees may be reluctant to engage in online learning opportunities (Means et al, 2010).

A key to achieving buy-in from all employees is to provide them with a quality E-learning experience that includes interaction, videos and exercises designed to engage adult learners.

For example, at Curious Mondo we offer Live streaming where participants can interact with instructors, live Q&A and monitoring of training performance.

EMERGING EVIDENCE OF BOTTOM LINE IMPACT Evidence is emerging that the cost-to-benefit ratio now surpasses most traditional instructor-led and in-person training programs.

While reductions in travel and accommodation expenses are the most obvious and easily measured cost savings, other cost benefits can include improved productivity, increased innovations and reduced turnover Research has found that employees who are offered substantive career development opportunities tend to be more engaged, and therefore more loyal and more productive. New and improved skills also equate to a more innovative and responsive workforce.

These factors often aren‘t easy to quantify; however, the benefits are certainly real and can have a long-term positive impact on an organization‘s bottom line.

Organizations with the best and most innovative management development programs are always ranked among the most successful businesses. On-demand, online learning clearly offers training and development professionals a tool for crafting the flexible and high-quality learning programs that their organizations need to meet strategic objectives and succeed in today‘s fast-paced global marketplace.
