Organisational Learning Board

Introduction

The National Fire Chiefs Council’s Organisational Learning (OL) Board supports services by gathering, analysing and tracking learning across all areas of fire and rescue (FRS) service activity. This learning is processed by the Organisational Learning team through the new OL Tool.

The Organisational Learning team help develop or enhance local systems to be able to receive and respond to lessons shared through the NFCC.

Providing support and guidance at a national level will enable organisational learning to be implemented within every fire and rescue service, as well as enabling NFCC to simplify learning for services. We analyse a broad range of learning and insights from multiple perspectives, including:

• Prevention
• Protection
• People
• Operations

This saves services time and resource, enabling continuous improvement and improving both public and firefighter safety.

What is organisational learning?

Organisational learning is a process of considering the widest possible evidence base to identify notable practice, and highlight where improvement or change is needed at a national (NFCC) or local (FRS) level. The output of this analysis informs action within NFCC and fire and rescue services to drive continual improvement in the quality of service delivered to the public.

The video below outlines our organisational learning process. You can find out more about how to capture, share and embed learning in the Good Practice Guide.
