The 6 principles of workplace learning are outlined as linking learning to individual and organizational value, connecting action and reflection in a continuous cycle, addressing learners' attitudes and behaviors, providing a balance of challenge and support, creating opportunities for participants to teach, and designing learning communities and media. The presentation also discusses developing leaders and a shifting role for learning and development in enabling knowledge sharing and building learning solutions to address strategic issues.
