Training Industry Magazine - September/October 2019 - 37
THINK BACK TO A TIME WHEN YOU NEEDED TO
LEARN SOMETHING NEW. PERHAPS IT WAS A
STEP IN A PROCESS, A PROBLEM TO SOLVE OR A
SPECIFIC SKILL YOU NEEDED TO DEVELOP FOR
YOUR NEXT CAREER MOVE.
Chances are you didn't relaunch an
e-learning course that you took a
few months ago or access that 500page manual collecting dust on your
shelf to seek the instruction you
needed. You likely reached out to a
colleague, watched a YouTube video,
used a job aid or asked for guidance
in an online forum. These are many
forms of informal learning. The real
magic of informal learning lies in the
spontaneous nature in which people
learn from the content and people
around them.
Learners in today's corporate world
demand content that's engaging,
relevant and available in their daily
workflow. They want the capability
to access learning content -formal
or informal- at the moment of
need to improve their skills and
performance. To deliver this level
of learner experience, learning and
development (L&D) organizations
must shift to a strategy wherein
learning content is considered a
business asset that's optimized
for discovery.
There will always be a need for
formal learning. However, it must
be balanced with facilitating the
informal back on the job, where
the biggest performance gains
can be achieved. These responsive
and meaningful experiences are
becoming the new standard, yet
there's a gap between expectation
and reality when it comes to
delivering on them. The question
becomes how do we intentionally
design and measure the impact of
this type of learning?
STOP TRYING TO
FORMALIZE THE
INFORMAL, FACILITATE IT
To be truly comprehensive and
impactful, an L&D organization's
content strategy needs to focus on
the human aspects of learning. The
content strategy must be grounded
in listening to and connecting with
target audiences on a personal level
to create relevant and innovative
L&D experiences that resonate with
employees and result in measurable
business impact. Those experiences
should empower and motivate
audiences to achieve higher levels
of performance in their current and
future roles by blending formal
curriculum with informal methods
of learning.
