Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about changes in how people work, especially in how employees coordinate and collaborate with all stakeholders. In our preliminary empirical research aim, we therefore examined how companies have coped with the sudden changes induced by the pandemic, particularly by exploring challenges with and solutions for implementing the practices of new learning organisations (NLO) and knowledge sharing in Indonesia during the COVID-19 era. We collected primary data from semi-structured interviews with 28 participants in twelve industries in the Indonesian provinces. Interview questions addressed the six disciplines of NLOs and their challenges during large-scale social restrictions. The findings show that NLOs could be optimally implemented if the organisations have already fulfilled the prerequisite of having a digital transformation culture in place, which requires digital leadership.

Keywords: new learning organisation; knowledge sharing; digital leadership; digital culture; digital trust; digital communication.
