+
+Continuous learning is increasingly regarded as a key differentiator of high performing software teams, but what does that actually mean in practice and how can we optimise socio-technical systems for learning?
+
+In this talk I'll dig into the characteristics of a learning system and share examples of social and technical practices that can support continuous learning in software teams.
+
+We'll also consider the role we play as individual contributors to collective learning and the steps we can take independently to become better learning citizens.
+
+This talk will inspire you to reflect on your personal and collective learning capabilities and experiment with different ways of supporting continuous learning in your team and across your organisation.
