Organizations with strong informal learning capabilities (Bersin) are 300% more likely to excel at global talent development than organizations without those competencies. It’s no wonder. We learn best in context, and using ADDIE or a formal learning course usually does not embed learning in work. Having short learnings available at point of need, or as performance support, is a way of filling in the gaps of experience. This can improve not only individual performance, but team and organizational performance as well. Article by Charles Jennings.
“A common finding that has emerged from study after study over the past few years is that learning which is embedded in work seems to be more effective than learning away from work. If people learn as part of the workflow then this learning is more likely to impact performance in a positive way.”
