Research suggests that there are a number of potential advantages to learning in some
form of network which include being able to benefit from other’s experience, being
able to reduce the risks in experimentation, being able to engage in challenging
reflection and in making use of peer group support. Examples of such configurations
can be found in regional clusters, in sector groupings, in heterogeneous groups
sharing a common topic of interest, in user groups concerned with learning around a
particular technology or application and in supply chain learning. Although there is
clear potential in such shared learning and some evidence of its being achieved in a
few cases it is clear that learning in such configurations does not take place
automatically. This paper addresses some of the management challenges involved in
setting up and nurturing learning networks. It draws particularly on case examples of
learning networks in operation in the automotive components and timber products
industries in South Africa. |
