Reframing Learning as a Growth Engine – Insights from Prachi Mishra

Prachi Mishra, in HR Torch Bearers, brings forward an interesting viewpoint: learning needs to move from being associated as a standalone activity to becoming associated as an engine for performance. She highlights that the organization can no longer consider learning as just an activity on the checklist. It has to be part of the overall strategy.

Prachi emphasizes the significance of integrating learning interventions with business needs, leadership views, and employee capabilities. This way, companies can create agile performance, innovation, and achievement. Prachi further emphasizes the need for learning organizations where employees are encouraged to grow capabilities that can be applied to business achievement.

Instead, her model views investment in learning as a strategic investment rather than an operating expense. The lessons learned from Prachi Mishra’s commentary should be a useful reminder to us all of how important learning can be as a driver of business performance to create real competitive advantage.
