How to Help Employees to Create Knowledge

Many leaders see organizational learning simply as sharing existing knowledge. This isn’t surprising given that this is the primary focus of educational institutions, training programs, and leadership development courses. It’s the “sage on the stage” model, in which an expert shares what they know with those who are assumed not to know it. These “best practices” are presumed to work in a variety of different contexts and situations.
Without diminishing the value of knowledge sharing, recent research would suggest that the most valuable form of learning today is actually creating new knowledge. Organizations are increasingly being confronted with new and unexpected situations that go beyond the textbooks and operating manuals and require leaders to improvise on the spot, coming up with new approaches that haven’t been tried before. In the process, they develop new knowledge about what works and what doesn’t work in specific situations. The old, “scalable efficiency” approach to knowledge needs to be replaced with a new, more nimble kind of “scalable learning.” To foster the latter, managers should understand five essential distinctions:

  • Explicit versus tacit knowledge
  • Individuals versus workgroups and networks
  • Learning versus performance improvement
  • Learning versus unlearning
  • Skills versus capabilities

Reinforcement Learning: Breakthrough Technology of 2017

Breakthrough technologies will affect the economy and our politics, improve medicine, or influence our culture. Some are unfolding now; others will take a decade or more to develop. 
Reinforcement learning is one of top 10 breakthrough technologies listed recently by MIT Technology Review. By experimenting, computers are figuring out how to do things that no programmer could teach them.
The setting where you will probably most notice the remarkably humanlike behavior of this technology is in self-driving cars. Today’s driverless vehicles often falter in complex situations that involve interacting with human drivers, such as traffic circles or four-way stops. If we don’t want them to take unnecessary risks, or to clog the roads by being overly hesitant, they will need to acquire more nuanced driving skills, like jostling for position in a crowd of other cars. Progress would proceed much more slowly if programmers had to encode all such decisions into cars in advance.
