“Fostering a learning culture” is a common phrase in many HR strategies, yet it often remains an ill-defined concept. Christian Huber brings clarity to the topic, discussing concrete levers that truly make learning effective within a company. The focus is on mentoring – from informal pairings to structured programs – and how to design the setup, objectives, and expectations so that potential is not just discovered but also developed. We also discuss why, for instance, AI training based on the 'spray and pray' approach rarely works, and how HR professionals can implement targeted AI qualification aligned with roles, use cases, and skill gaps.
