Learning From The Edges
The world of work is full of friction. Departments work in silos. Work gets stuck. Teams find workplaces are not as easeful as they could or should be. And in all of this human beings are caught in the challenges, resulting in poor work, mental health worries and worse. As a research project, Learning From The Edges will look at the edges of work, where friction exists and explore what gets in the way of work and of learning. Why is there friction? How can work be more fruitful for organisations and people? What barriers do people have and what practical ways they can overcome those barriers?

Episode #17 Adjacent Communities: Job Descriptions Unplugged. With guests David Hayden and Steve George.
Welcome to episode 17 of Learning from The Edges. You join us this week as we explore the concept of learning from outside of work. Inviting us to look wider, our guests unravel the impact of untapped potential in our learning from our adjacent communities within the professional sphere.
Discover how individuals can break free from the constraints of job descriptions and harness the wealth of knowledge gained outside the workplace, turning personal experiences into powerful assets we can use at work. From unlearning and its significance in our everyday lives to what we get from our communities, our panel discussions go beyond traditional learning approaches, encouraging a dynamic mindset that values curiosity, continuous learning, and adaptation.
Whether you're a seasoned Learning and Development professional or someone navigating the challenges of increasing productivity at your organisation, this podcast provides practical insights, real-world examples to help get you started on a journey of growth and transformation.
To dive in further to the benefits of learning from your adjacent communities, be sure to check out the book co-authored by David and Steve.
