The relentless advancement of technology is disrupting almost every aspect of our lives — the way that we communicate, the way that we relate to others and the way that we make sense of the world and our place within it. Similarly, this digital transformation is changing the way that we both work and learn. In the past, learning would often occur in its own dedicated space such as a classroom or around a conference room table. Today, the rapid pace of work and change require a fundamentally different approach. More and more, learning and working need to happen in parallel, in an integrated, holistic way that mutually support each other.

A Working Lab powered by Lyra animates learning by activating small groups and social networks to engage in highly effective, real-world problem solving. Cohorts are based on a framework such as one focused on innovation. Participants respond to prompted discussion, informed by short-form digital learning modules, that trigger the behaviors, thinking and problem solving that drive change and innovation. Working Labs are built on a design architecture that walks through specific learning stages: exploration, integration and analysis.

An anonymous crowdstorming exercise encourages everyone to contribute ideas followed by a voting exercises that tease out common themes without the usual prejudice associated with position or person. Expanding beyond your circle to bring in external inputs helps expand context and frame of reference. As the exploration phase moves into integration — select ideas are expanded upon with structured learning experiences and increased engagement. New approaches to problem-solving inspire innovative thinking and teams are strengthened as they work with new dynamics.

This approach tears down the notion of traditional learning and promotes agility, idea flow and innovation. This is the future of learning — experiential and data-driven.
