Meetings are convenient and useful platforms for ongoing learning
Updated - Tuesday 26 October 2010
For organisational learning to be successful, good planning and design are required to make these gatherings a real learning tool. In 2005, IRC began having periodic meetings dedicated exclusively to learning and learning from each other – we refer to this as the Travel Free Week.
After a lot of hard work and behind-the-scenes preparation, the last Travel Free Week – which has since been renamed ‘IRC-nergy week’ for 2010 will take place from the 12 -15 October 2010.
IRC-nergy Week Format
- Training sessions to beef up practical skills of all staff
- Who is doing what – projects and programmes in different regions
- Interactions with MT members and WMT
- Social event and dinner
The main theme of this last IRC-nergy week will be innovation and the session will update IRC staff on:
- Business plan 2012-2016
- Annual Report 2010
- PSO programme
- Strategic communication, teleconferencing, Customer Relations Management and Advanced Excel
- IRC thematic, regional and global programmes
- News programs, WASH Cost and Triple S
- Results and experiences from the Monitoring Protocol.
A blog has been recently created with “live” updates and reports on the learning experiences in future IRC-nergy weeks. You might want to have a look and see if you can learn from our learning!
