Organizational Leadership—Learning and Innovation

“Learning is an essential attribute of high-performing organizations. Effective, well-deployed organizational learning can help an

organization improve from the early stages of reacting to problems to the highest levels of organization-wide improvement,

refinement, and innovation.” (2017-2018 Baldridge Excellence Framework, p. 32)

OLLI PROGRAM CORE VALUES

An Open and Inquiring Mindset. Learning requires active inquiry and an openness to new ways of thinking and behaving. Fearless

exploration leads to new discoveries that pave the way to innovation.

Continual Learning and Self-Improvement. With a playful and courageous spirit engage in active and timely self-reflection that

leads to continued personal mastery of new knowledge and skills that enable new behavioral competencies.

Authentic Voice and Engaged Listening. Being genuine and truthful in thought and action is key to effective communication and

leadership. Giving active consideration to the voice of others enables dialogue and learning that inspires others to collaborate in

moving the organization toward a shared vision of being in the present and the future.

Ethically and Socially Responsible Action. As organizational leaders/members it is vital to be transparent, fair, and ethical in all

endeavors and to be cognizant of societal impacts of actions.

Humility and Appreciation in Relationships. The welcoming of diverse others into our life and work is a source of inspiration. The

willingness to alter our views base

d on new ideas, information and situations that flow from this diversity is vital to rewarding relationships and steady progress toward

shared visions.

Critical Information Consumption and Informed Decisions. Understanding the past, present and future as well as the interaction

among social, political, legal, economic and technological forces at play is vital to making sound decisions in a volatile, ambiguous,

complex and uncertain world. Understanding is built on a critical assessment of available data, information and research findings.

Courage, Resolve, and Resilience. Taking risks to support innovation requires courage in the face of the unknown, resolve when

obstacles and resistance impede, and resilience to keep motivating the self, individuals, teams and the organization to move forward.

Collective Wisdom and Collaborative Action. Engaging teams and networks in solving problems, responding to stakeholders, and

anticipating the future leads to an ever-changing, high performing organization.

Commitment to Excellence, Value and Results. Achieving greatness requires commitment to high performance standards and

striving to achieve those standards. The goal is to achieve results that create value for all stakeholders.

OLLI STANDARDS/ COMPETENCIES

The OLLI program standards/competencies are an amalgamation of leadership and performance competencies identified by NIST

(National Institute of Standards and Technology-Baldridge Performance Excellence Program), SHRM (Society of Human Resource

Management) and ATD (Association for Talent Development).* In drawing on these resources, as well as the previous Organizational

Leadership Standards (2012), we believe the new OLLI program reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the knowledge, skills and

improvement and innovation. These leadership standards acknowledge that organizational learning professionals must develop

expertise that embraces knowledge of people, teams, organizations, as well as the social, political, legal, economic, and technological
