Observing Practitioner is the first stage of learning. This very initial stage represents a person who is a keen observer and able to sense the change happening in their surroundings. An observing practitioner is a keen observer of diversified kinds of changes that happened and is currently happening in industry & society.
Next to being an observant, now an Observing Practitioner just not remains static in his mind but wants to know, why this change is happening and the reason behind the same. He becomes curious about this change. This is the second stage of this framework and is very important and is known as the Curiosity Practitioner.
Curiosity is a quest for knowledge and wisdom.
■ ■ ■ ■
Curiosity functions as a spark to ignite the process of learning. It is the spark of curiosity which influences us to learn and understand on the line of logic. Curiosity enables us to walk on the progression path of continuous learning. Any progress is born out of curiosity so let's cultivate the power of curiosity at the stage of curiosity practitioner.
The next stage is the Learning Practitioner, in which a Curiosity Practitioner do consistent efforts to explore the reason behind this change by studying facts & references, analysis of trends and constructing the concept by connecting the dots of their experience.
This is the highest maturity stage of the continuous learning lifecycle where a learning practitioner take initiative to spread and distribute, their learnings and knowledge with society, with a belief that knowledge always increases by sharing with others.
