The need to link elements together into a bigger picture is an important element of learning, to me. And this is visual in that the representation of the structure is critical for me. Creating presentations is another way to think about how to share. Interacting with others is a big part of learning, for me (despite my introversion).

70:20:10 is a great way to think more broadly about learning, as part of the bigger picture of facilitating performance and development. I’m not yet convinced that it helps on the ‘continual innovation’ side, but it is a very useful tool to help get the ‘optimal execution’ side of the picture nailed down.

When we want to optimize performance, we should recognize that we need a bigger picture. This includes performance support in a variety of ways. It also should address what we consider to be worth training. We need to consider the person & tools, or people & tools, as a whole entity when it comes to achieving the end goal.

I think the larger picture increasingly relies on teams. And I agree that’s important, but I’m not sure one person needs to be able to do it all. Is the person who engineers the underlying content engine the same one as the person who designs the experiences that are manifest out of that system?

We do, however, need to be thinking about a broader picture. The point here is that these ways of thinking about the problem come from thinking about meeting organizational needs, not about delivering learning services.
