ECLO is proud to announce that its 17th International conference will be held in

Istanbul, 2010 European Capital of Culture,from 12th-14th May, 2010

"Learning Excellence, a Survival Guide in Troublesome Times"
 
Context:

Individuals, teams, organizations and society live through troublesome times. This requires mental flexibility, adaptability and both willingness and ability to change. Never before was the concept of the learning organization, as once defined by Pedler and Burgoyne, more acute. An organization that facilitates the learning of all of its members is therefore able to continuously transform itself.

Thus to survive in these troublesome times, organizations and its members have no alternative but to learn. To not only survive but be a leader in their field, they cannot but excel in that learning.

The ECLO 2010 conference therefore will focus on how this learning excellence can be achieved and invites contributions about groundbreaking  concepts, processes and methods in learning and about good practices where such learning excellence has led individuals, teams and organizations to achieve operational, strategic, market or business excellence.

Themes:

  • Fostering intellectual capital for Business Excellence

  • Excellence in learning - groundbreaking approaches to learning

  • Are there limits to learning? Is the Learning Organisation applicable to all industries and all cultures?

  • Operational excellence and learning - how on-the job learning can make a real difference.

  • Sustainable development - the next frontier for the learning organization?

  • Excellent Training and Educational Organizations.
