Learning Journeys

GBN pioneered Learning Journeys as an exciting new tool for insight and innovation. More than a field trip or a fact-finding mission, Learning Journeys enable busy executives to deepen, accelerate, and internalize their learning about profound changes in the business environment.

Learning Journeys reflect our conviction that the most powerful learning occurs through experience, interaction, and collaboration, not from books or lectures. Importantly, when such learning takes place with a group of colleagues around a focused theme, it also produces a shared, collaborative platform for action.

In fact, Learning Journeys are designed and facilitated to deliver pragmatic outcomes for the participants. These include a shared point of view on the nature and process of change (e.g., from new technologies to empowered customers); a clearer understanding of future challenges and opportunities; and a framework for future innovation and development.
