Key performance indicators for social and informal learning identify knowledge hubs and lead to better results. Just as social learning and technology have modernized the way learning occurs in companies today, they also have made a mark on the key performance indicators learning leaders should capture and measure.

Because this person had worked in training and development for a large mortgage company for many years and now works as a leadership development contractor, I thought she would be a great person with which to talk shop and brainstorm social learning ideas. However, conversation quickly turned to the temporary staffing industry in general.

While there remains a need for formal training environments to meet specific learning outcomes, the necessity for organizations to leverage platforms that enable social and informal learning, where learners network, share, collaborate, and exchange ideas to solve problems, is paramount.

You can instill confidence in a manager’s ability to deliver feedback and have hard conversations. The content and experiences provided in a VR headset offer a safe and informative learning space for a new manager. Traditionally, one learned the art of giving feedback through role play and in-person group trainers.

Or will work itself subsume learning enabled by a transformed L&D / facilitators / coaches / mentors and the "right" organizational culture? How do we help organizations see that social and informal learning is not a new and fancy way to learn but an essential requirement in a complex, rapidly changing, and uber connected world?

The consumption of content is an important element of “learning” No argument there. Consider an ESN such as Chatter: 1% of the organisation won’t adequately reflect the enterprise’s collective intelligence.

I find EY’s move here interesting, but I don’t expect other companies to follow suit en mass – particularly enterprise-wide. When we worry about the status of their credentials or lose sleep over their completion rates, we’re perpetuating an out-dated paradigm of education based on formal learning.
