Introduction: Team learning and how it can contribute to a team functioning in alignment and as a whole enterprise is a key concept in change management. Team learning helps a team sustain and reinforce its learning and increases the capacity to act synergistically and master how to learn.
Learning teams must understand how to skillfully dialogue, increasing their ability to problem solve, create new knowledge, deliberate, and build relationships with other teams and customers. Learning teams develop ground rules for truth-telling, time usage, decision-making processes, and domains, and to create a safe conversational environment that allows a team to take risks, make mistakes, forgive, and recover.
