lernOS is a self-management method for people living and working in the 21st century. To be successful you have to learn, organize, and develop yourself on an ongoing basis. No matter if you are a teenager, a student, a subject matter expert, or a manager. lernOS integrates elements from methods like Scrum, Objectives & Key Results (OKR), Getting Things Done (GTD), and Working Out Loud (WOL) and in an integrated approach.
You can use lernOS on your own, in a learning tandem (2 people) or in a learning circle (4-5 people). Learning with lernOS iterates in sprints of 13 weeks called learning sprints. Week 0 is for sprint planning, weeks 1-11 for the actual learning process and week 12 for a retrospective. Each week a learning weekly takes place (about 60 minutes). This way four sprints per year build the basic framework for your livelong learning process.
Download the lernOS Guides and additional material below and get started now! If you need support to find circle members you can ask your friends and network or use the Circlefinder on CONNECT. If you have any further questions you can use the lernOS category on our community platform CONNECT or write with the hashtag #lernOS on Twitter.
The adoption of lernOS is a matter of months or years not hours or days. So Keep Calm & Learn On! @simondueckert
