Further, we’ll see more examples of the notion of a ‘performance ecosystem’ of resources aligned around individual needs and responsibilities, instead of organized around the providing silos. Others will try to cram courses onto phones, and continue to miss the bigger picture, increasing their irrelevance.

For example a study of 829 companies over 31 years showed diversity training had "no positive effects in the average workplace." To take an example from the ATD data, the annual report itemises ‘hours per year on ‘learning’ (which means ‘hours per year on training). However, there’s no easy way to know that.

We see examples of opportunities for improving performance by not training all around us. Occasionally the outcomes are the exact opposite of the intentions (see my article on compliance and diversity training here for examples of this). And it’s not only efficiencies in the training process itself that we need to look for.

The US military four-question AAR, for example, could serve as a template for any organisation to help embed a culture of reflection. Military after-action reviews (AARs) are tremendous structured processes that analyse what happened, why it happened and how it could be done better.

When we develop a new capability, for example, it’s best to acquire it within the context we’re going to use it. Learning is a highly contextual activity. The closer to the point of use that it occurs the more effective it is likely to be. There’s a number of reasons for that. Then apply it as quickly as possible.

The term ‘informal training’ for example is meaningless. However the words training and learning are not interchangeable. This may seem a small point that most of us have ‘got’ and don’t think about, but it’s important. Whereas the term ‘informal learning’ as Jay Cross describes it, is extremely meaningful: “.

If we break what we need to know about using a process or procedure, for example, into its component parts we can start to get an understanding of what we need to learn and commit to long-term memory and what we don’t. In the diagram above the examples of core concepts are things such as ‘what does my job involve?’

Deutschman cites examples from medicine. How many of us have tried regimes of dieting or increased exercise, or even keeping away from some stimulant or another for for a time only to fail to keep to our intentions after an initial few weeks (or even days). We return to previous behaviours far more easily than we’d like to think we do.

If an L&D department is using sub-optimal approaches, flying ILT trainers around the world to deliver content-heavy classes for example, or is developing expensive media-rich eLearning programmes that only small numbers of employees need to use, it will likely be failing to deliver on these two requirements respectively.

On the other hand if we consider the level of interaction in, for example, the computer game HALO (the world’s best-selling entertainment property which sold over $200 million on its first day of release) you will find more than one million interactions. The average number of interactions, per group, is often as low as 20.

Examples of the difference between ‘training’ and ‘development’ Myatt provides include: 4. Myatt’s solution, like Jarche’s, is for organisations to create an environment where development occurs through mainly work rather than through training.
