A Lean Shared Learning Space: Where True Learning Happens

How can we move beyond dualistic training formats that separate teacher and learner, knowledge and application? In this blog, we dive into the Japanese concept of ba—a shared learning space where knowledge is created, exchanged and internalised in context. Drawing on Nonaka’s SECI model and Zen-inspired thinking, we explore how learning becomes truly embedded when it happens between people, not from above. A must-read for trainers, facilitators and learning designers who want to foster real, sustainable learning.

Because the seeds we plant today shape the world of tomorrow.
