In an unstable economic environment, organizations and companies must constantly adapt and innovate to
remain competitive. To innovate and develop its ability to adapt, the organization (company) must release
the power of the thoughts and actions of its employees, it must become a learning organization. Learning
networks are one of the forms of the learning organization and an alternative to traditional methods of
managing organizational change. Learning networks can be used while driving organizational change
and should involve the largest number of participants and introduce change whilst satisfying the needs
of customers, employees and the company. In this article, we will present the keys to operating learning
networks and some key results achieved through learning networks within the National Society of French
Railways, where these networks have been in use since 2007.
