To build a team culture that values learning through stories. Integrate brief storytelling moments into regular team meetings. One person shares a 'learning moment' from recent work—something that surprised them, a mistake they learned from, or an insight that changed… An ongoing team scaffold (meeting element), run regular meetings, not as a one-off session.
