Learning Manifesto

The Purpose of OpenAgile:

To create an environment in which people are free to express their true nature and capacities to contribute to the betterment of their organization.

Learning:

Learning is the key that unlocks human capacity. Learning can help us improve our products and services, our processes and tools and our interactions with people around us. The learning we want is:

Systematic vs. Ad Hoc

Deep vs. Shallow

Continuous vs. Sporadic

Applied vs. Theoretical

Shared vs. Hoarded

And in order to do learning with these qualities, we recognize that Truthfulness is the foundation and required for progress and success.

I think Trust needs to be part of the foundation. Truthfulness is critical, but unless you have an underlying Trust amongst all participants, you may not be successful.

Re: Learning Manifesto

Hi Maureen,

You are absolutely right that Trust is critical! Trust comes from people being Truthful to each other...

Being Truthful takes courage and/or a safe environment. Which takes Trust :-)

I think it would be great to add Trust to the foundations... how does this sound:

"And in order to do learning with these qualities, we recognize that Truthfulness is the foundation and required for progress and success. Truthfulness helps us build Trust, Courage and a safe environment."

It may not be exactly what you were thinking of, so please feel free to offer an alternative!
