Today, I am aware of my learning patterns and how they shape my academic experiences. I will use this new knowledge to establish goals for the upcoming semester . . . This will require that I stop making excuses when I fall short and start taking responsibility for my actions. It also requires that I consistently evaluate my behaviors and reward myself when I do well. l will approach these matters incrementally to reap long-term benefits.

An organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning
into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.
-Jack Welch
Simply stated…what is your competitive advantage? No matter what the industry or service, the most important resource for any organization is the human resource. The LCI provides an inward look at learning processes, an outward analysis of an individual’s actions, and a vocabulary for explaining the specific actions the person takes that result in productive or unproductive outcomes.
The importance of completing the LCI lies in the fact that the LCI is neither a skills assessment nor determinant of achievement or success. It is designed to help people recognize and understand the ways in which they interpret and operationalize information. In order to be successful, we need to be able to make temporary adaptations to the way we naturally process information to meet the needs of the challenge that confronts us. It starts by being able to articulate how we process information and decode the characteristics of what is required to be successful.
