Abstract: Our understanding of how humans learn and create new memories has grown tremendously in the last 20 years. Providing an environment in which people have room to think, and the safety to experiment and adapt is key. We will review fundamental concepts of neuroscience and how they intersect with organizational behavior. We will also review how the agile mindset takes advantage of these concepts. From there, we can begin to envision the conditions that will provide the greatest opportunity for learning and continuous improvement. Together, we will share ideas on how we can start to transform our environments into safe spaces where teams can grow and thrive.
Learning Outcomes: - Understand how we learn, and what learning looks like in the workplace
- Recognize organizational infrastructures that are impeding learning and experimentation
- Design environments that support learning and continuous improvement
