Dan Hottinger + Stefnee Trzpuc
BWBR
Talk Description
What started as a simple, peer group-based learning initiative focused on documentation standards, Landmark Learning Sessions have quickly transformed into the new standard of how technical learning is done at BWBR. At the intersection of "doing the work" and "managing the talent," KM strategies were applied early in the development of Landmark Learning and have helped to uncover a better understanding of foundational skills and common project issues, measures of success, and cross-functional outcomes.
