But often, it&#8217;s quickly followed by more pragmatic and skeptical ones: <em>Where do I bill my time for this learning stuff?<\/em> or <em>How are we going to pay for this?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At GMB, our big-picture stance is simple: if you want to thrive in ambiguity, you need to build an organization that can respond organically with agility, resilience, and an emphasis toward growth. That means designing systems that are people-first rather than process- or profit-first. It also means understanding that you&#8217;ll \u201cpay\u201d for learning one way or another. You\u2019ll either invest proactively in growth now, or pay the price later in lost relevance, innovation, or talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We choose to invest, and we do it intentionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-gmb-green-two-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-gmb-green-two-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f5a44f5b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-overlay\"><strong>Learning is Part of the Rhythm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve embedded learning into the natural rhythm of our organization. This starts with GMB University <a href=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/culture\/\">(GMBU),<\/a> our quarterly all-company gatherings for shared learning and alignment. Beyond that, we offer regular opportunities to learn across disciplines: weekly and monthly sessions hosted by our discipline-focused teams, K-12 and Higher Education groups, and subject matter experts across the firm. These sessions tackle everything from technical knowledge to emerging challenges, creating a shared space for curiosity and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year we are also immersing GMB\u2019s summer interns into this learning rhythm by flipping the script. Our talented interns will step into the spotlight &#8211; not just as learners, but as leaders &#8211; in our internal Intern Panel Series where they\u2019ll share their unfiltered insights into the future of design, education, technology, and teamwork. Each session explores a timely topic through the eyes of those currently a part of the education ecosystem who have first-hand knowledge of the evolving world of education and campus life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By having structured rhythms and a team responsible for curating content, we ensure that learning doesn\u2019t happen \u201cwhen there\u2019s time\u201d but it happens <em>because we\u2019ve made time.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/I_250210_N35_jpg-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/I_250210_N35_jpg-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/I_250210_N35_jpg-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/I_250210_N35_jpg-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/I_250210_N35_jpg-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/I_250210_N35_jpg.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-gmb-green-two-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-gmb-green-two-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-overlay\"><strong>Time Spent Learning is Time Well-Spent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One reason this system works at GMB is that we don\u2019t measure individual hours or utilization in the traditional sense. People still prioritize and honor their deadlines and deliverables, but we\u2019ve taken out the mental hurdle of \u201ccan I afford to spend time on this?\u201d In fact, GMB offers all employees a learning stipend to support employee growth and development. Each employee receives a yearly allotment towards learning opportunities of their choosing that help their growth in their primary role focus. This can include expenses such as career coaching, courses, webinars, certifications, subscriptions, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We view hours spent learning not as a cost to bill, but as an organizational health metric. Learning is not meant to be a luxury. It\u2019s a key indicator of our long-term resilience and relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-gmb-green-two-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-gmb-green-two-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f5a44f5b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-text-overlay\"><strong>Culture Matters More Than Curriculum<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f5a44f5b wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"677\" src=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/230417_CorporateCommunicationsProjectGMB_KSM-6911-1024x677.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/230417_CorporateCommunicationsProjectGMB_KSM-6911-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/230417_CorporateCommunicationsProjectGMB_KSM-6911-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/230417_CorporateCommunicationsProjectGMB_KSM-6911-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gmb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/230417_CorporateCommunicationsProjectGMB_KSM-6911-1536x1015.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Being a \u201clearning organization\u201d isn\u2019t just about offering courses or hosting webinars.

Beyond just meeting rooms or training spaces, our Learning Hubs are designed to feel welcoming and inclusive and become places people want to be.
