Understand – Ensure you got everything the person said
Example, I worked with a CO at a bank and was told why the bank is not allowed to send information from their IT dept in the USA to Luxembourg due to their internet laws
Learn – Learn a new or existing process, maybe a new problem
Example, understanding why offshore contractors required a different user prefix
Information – is power
