There are lower-overhead social environments (but…which I’ll get back to). Now you still might not need a social one, so let’s get back to that.

We should then figure out what information can be in the world (whether a resource or in other’s heads), and what has to be in the performer’s repertoire. It can just be information in the world, such as a job aid or checklist , or an interactive decision support tool.

The perspective riffs off of the concept of the relative value of formal versus informal learning methods shift as performers move from novice to expert. And, too often, we tend to restrict our interventions to the formal side, yet there are lots of things we can be doing on the informal side.
