§ Learning Architecture

The bridge between capability strategy and individual learning solutions.

Learning architecture is what stops a learning portfolio from becoming a collection of unrelated courses. It gives capability priorities a structure: academies, curricula, pathways and journeys that people can actually travel.

§ The bridge

  1. Strategy
  2. Capability
  3. Architecture
  4. Learning Experience

§ Modalities

How the learning is carried

Architecture decides not only what is learned but where learning happens — much of it outside a classroom, in the work itself.

  • Blended learning
  • Workplace learning
  • Coaching and mentoring
  • Communities of practice
  • Social learning
  • Experiential learning
  • Digital learning
  • Self-directed learning
