lernOS is an operating system for livelong learning and learning organizations. It can be used by individuals, teams, and organizations. lernOS fosters the right mindset, trains the right skills and provides the right tools for the digital connected knowledge society of the 21st century.
lernos in Esperanto is the future tense of the verb "to learn" (mi lernos: I will learn, ni lernos: WE will learn). The uppercase "OS" stands for "operating system" like iOS, MacOS and CentOS. Simply put lernOS is a framework to unleash the potential learning for individuals, teams and organizations (profit and non-profit).
The core of lernOS is based on principles from Getting Things Done, Objective Key Results, and Working Out Loud. If you practice one of these methods separately you can use the lernOS Canvas for visual documentation, storytelling, and to expand your approach over time.
