An example of Learning at Work:

Learning at Work

Rich learning opportunities occur daily, on the job – but they aren't consistent or inclusive. Our focus in learning at work is the development and implementation of processes, routines and tools that increase the predictability, speed and quality of learning in the course of work.   

It is based on what our clients know to be true – most development takes place on the job rather than in the classroom. What’s been missing in the dialogue is the question of how you get it done in a predictable, recognizable manner. We can help you do that. And it will pay off with increased business productivity and quality, accelerated development, and a more engaging workplace. 

Duke CE has been focused on accelerating learning at work for the past two years. We began by asking the question “Where does learning at work occur in a planned and disciplined way?” This question led us to teaching hospitals and more specifically to Johns Hopkins Teaching Hospital. Working with the doctors and team there and with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), we found that a number of the routines embedded in the training of physicians could actually accelerate the learning, development and engagement of teams in firms. We refer to this methodology as Team-Based Learning (TBL).
