with Naomi Reed — Organizational Psychologist · Advisor, LVMH and Patagonia

Every organization claims to be learning. Few actually are. The difference shows up in how mistakes are surfaced, how decisions are revisited, and how knowledge moves between people who will never meet.
Naomi Reed draws on twenty years of field research to share the small, repeatable practices that turn a culture into a learning system — and the well-meaning policies that quietly suppress it.
Naomi Reed is an organizational psychologist whose work has shaped culture and learning practices at LVMH, Patagonia and the Mayo Clinic.
She is a faculty associate at INSEAD and a recurring contributor to MIT Sloan Management Review.
Her book Quiet Engines examines the everyday rituals of organizations that compound knowledge faster than their peers.

"A culture does not learn by accident. It learns because someone protects the conditions that allow it to."
