What Defines a Learning Culture?

By Liam Smith • August 17, 2021
Creating a Learning Culture within your company or business is a great way to grow the skillsets of your employees. In short, a learning culture can be found in an organization that promotes the development of staff, a healthy collaboration between teams, and employs constructive feedback loops. Purpose is a word that comes up a lot in today’s job culture. While it is important to the individual, purpose means something different to everyone, and shouldn’t be used as an ideology in a business. A lot of business lectures and seminars will talk about having a ‘purposeful culture’ but we prefer to instill a learning culture. Not every person is able to find a job in which they find purpose. In a learning culture, almost everyone has a desire to grow and learn new skills. A learning culture requires a plan to cultivate the right mindset and skillset, but it produces happy and committed employees, which increases the value of a company. The characteristics of a successful learning culture are closely linked to the ongoing strategies employed by the organization to motivate learning.

The Growth Triple Play: Combining Creativity, Analytics & Purpose

By Liam Smith • July 16, 2021
According to a McKinsey study, companies that combine creativity, analytics, and purpose are growing at twice the rate of companies that only use one or two of those factors. While creativity has been used in marketing for years, data analytics have also become an integral part of successful business campaigns. Now entering the fold is the concept of “purpose”. Purpose is a new addition that can represent the overall mission of the company or product. One of the key takeaways from this study shows that “In the period 2018–19, companies using just one of the capabilities—either creativity, analytics, or purpose—saw an average growth rate of more than 6 percent. Adding a second component saw growth rates climb to more than 7 percent. For those that employed the full triple play, growth rates climbed to more than 12 percent.” Contact the Team at CHV Group if you would like to learn more about how to incorporate the concepts of creativity, analytics & purpose into your organization!
