(1) Enabling people to do things we already know how to do and (2)
creating collaborative environments that allow people to develop new ideas
and concepts to address unanticipated opportunities or challenges.
Productive learning focuses mostly on the individual and on helping
that individual to adopt a pattern of behavior that improves productivity.
Generative learning, by contrast, is a collaborative endeavor. Shared meaning
and insights are developed at the group level, and these insights drive
enterprise transformation to ensure growth and sustainability. Today, the
learning function is focused primarily on productive learning. As a result,
it appears that trainers are more likely to want to maintain the status quo,
rather than challenge it.
Learning is a far more complicated phenomenon than can ever be limited
to the classroom context. If we convey knowledge about tasks we already
know how to do, we call it productive learning . If we share knowledge about
tasks that are new and different, we call it generative learning . Productive
learning serves largely to maintain the status quo within an enterprise by
conveying what is already known, while generative learning involves not
only absorbing existing information but also creating new solutions to unanticipated
problems. Information age learning requires that individuals and
organizations change the way they think about and act on what is known
and what needs to be known in order to innovate, change, and win.

In 1968, Garrett Hardin coined the expression to describe the situation when individuals act out of self-interest, at the expense of the common good of all, and collectively deplete and degrade a resource – such as the ocean.

there is nothing as practical as a good theory” (see, e.g., Lewin, 1943)
Collective competence: a group’s ability to work together towards a common goal and results in the creation of a collective outcome, an outcome that could not be accomplished by one member alone due to its complexity [9, 10]. This competence is argued to be at the group level and as such is a collective competence that integrates both practical as well as interpersonal competence. Practical competence refers to the project members’ ability to integrate their individual competences and solve problems together and includes a combination of learned skills, working routines, and processes as well as thinking chains and reasoning. Interpersonal competence refers to the ability of project members to interact and collaborate with other members while accomplishing the project’s tasks [9]. Thus, this approach to project management is similar to the community of practice concept [11], suggesting that competence is constituted while project members collaborate in the course of joint action or practice and creates a set of inter-subjective meanings that are expressed in and through their artifacts [12, 6, 13, 14]. Thus, collective competence is based on a shared understanding by the members of the project as a whole that enables the group to successfully achieve the ultimate goals of the project [6].
