Today's article explores the learning-driven government model, which was developed based on more than 26 years of practical experience and over five years of research, in which more than 3,000 documents were reviewed, 74 interviews were conducted, and more than 800 hours of observation This is in contrast to the evaluations of dozens of government departments in the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, the Philippines and the United Kingdom.
The government sector version is built on the learning-driven enterprise model, which was co-developed and developed with Professor Jeff Gould, an international expert in corporate learning and future foresight.
The model has been published in a 360-page book, available in English, and is being translated into Arabic.
The learning-driven government model also consists of seven stages, and is not limited to the learning situation only, but also starts from the beginning, and deals with the entire logistics.
The steps of the model are: determining the responsibility for learning (ie the owner of the process), qualifying the work team, choosing learning mechanisms, deriving appropriate solutions, preparing and approving the ostraca, application, evaluating the application.
In the first stage, defining the responsibility for learning, the person responsible for the learning process is selected and prepared, as well as the preparation of the work team called the learning ambassadors. It is suggested here that the person responsible for learning should be at a high job level, and the best and most effective job title is “Learning Chief Executive.” Chief Learning Officer (CLO).
In the second stage, a team from various departments and sections is trained on institutional and governmental learning mechanisms and methods. This step serves as a permanent preparation for the continuity of learning processes and activities, meaning that this job title must remain in place and be included in the department’s organizational structure.
The third stage, which is the selection of learning mechanisms, and there is a large group of mechanisms, such as standard comparisons, subsequent reviews, challenge ideas, learning café, learning accelerators, and here it is necessary to choose the appropriate mechanism in terms of time, as there are mechanisms suitable for emergencies and crises, which do not need More than two hours to reach the appropriate solution.
The fourth stage is to derive a solution or a package of solutions that fit the context of the work, and take into account previous experiences, all considerations related to institutional culture, the analysis of stakeholders (stakeholders), and financial, technical and human considerations.
As for the fifth stage, it is the preparation and approval of “ostraka” and “ostraka” in the ancient Egyptian language, which is a chip of stone or pottery that was used for documentation or for preparing a miniature model of paintings before their implementation. At this stage, a digital document is prepared, which may be a presentation, a poster or a file. In any form ready for approval by the decision maker, it is submitted by the Chief Learning Officer.
