Sage Journals: Discover world-class research

Abstract

This article examines the evolution of the learning ecosystem within the Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) as it transitioned from a training-focused paradigm to a learning-oriented culture. By integrating digital tools, fostering blended learning, and leveraging external collaborations, SAIL transformed its learning and development strategy. Key challenges included adapting to rapid digitalisation, fostering self-driven learning, and maintaining engagement among a diverse workforce. The study highlights the importance of aligning organisational learning with business strategies, particularly in a BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear and Incomprehensible) world. The article concludes by exploring future possibilities for leveraging artificial intelligence and collaborative networks to further enhance organisational learning ecosystems.
