workplace--learning orgsaniation?

By Fay
I have ever done a part-time internship for almost one year in CCTV (China Central Television) at Beijing with a not high salary. My response was to assist the programme director to film.

The whole producing team consisted of young people, and the atmosphere was alive and equal. This team intakes many interns each year in order to refresh the creating blood. Meanwhile, interns could learn much real and practical stuff there. I was one of them.

The following table analyzes KWL model of my previous job.

What I already know?	What I want to know?	What I have learnt?
Some basic filming knowledge. Not very skilled filming skills.	Professional filming skills How to coordinate scenes How to lead the whole team to work smoothly	Professional filming skills Working with others better. Dealing with some emergencies. ……

In this workplace, there was no very strictly working distribution structure.

·  People will learn more if they work harder and communicate with others more. For interns, we could learn lots of fresh knowledge by even watching. In this organization, personal mastery was accomplished well. This target acquired did not separate with shared vision. The functioning of this organization was transparent; we did discuss issues in an equal and freedom way. Thus, as the filming going, innovation could appear gradually, and some basic rules were executed well without forcing. The tacit understanding could be found which was interesting and power saving. However there was a not that welcomed thing always happened, which was the inspection system of TV system in China. Usually, our great ideas were killed by producers due to some hard-explained reason here.

·  As we were a team of young, the system thinking was not carried out very well. Although these shortages cannot be seen from the screen. We had to have many meeting for one shooting. Trying our best to forecast what will happen. Perhaps due to the emergencies always appear for TV making, we had to deal with some situation we had not thought before.

·  Above all, this is a long story, the place I have ever worked can be called a not bad learning organization.
