Many people on your teams already have the requisite skills and know-how, or the Personal Mastery Knowledge, to coach new hires and close the emerging skill gaps.

And I’m coming at learning science again, with a personal interest. Learning science is an interdisciplinary field, including cognitive science, educational psychology, and more. Having emerged relatively late, it’s now finding a solid footing with a unified approach to looking at how we learn, and how to facilitate it.

Often, today's learning has neither. and we really don't have a clear process (other than teams, meetings, and emerging collaborative spaces). I'm becoming convinced that folks in the informal learning realm are quite willing to live with "free range" learning. It's way too touchy-feely and abstract for me.

First, there’re the expectations that have emerged. Then we move to informal learning, facilitating learning. This may seem like more competencies to add on, but the goal is to reduce the emphasis (and workload) on courses, and build an organization that continues to learn. So what’s a person to do?
