It sounds like Weejee is growing quickly with Ian and Tracy at the helm, but they too are frustrated with the slow adoption of informal learning. Wikis are an easy place to start the promotion of collaborative learning spaces, and clients seem to be willing and able to accept this informal tool into their everyday lives.

The power of tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Yammer, are pretty astounding. These tools give us a way to connect with people faster and more easily than ever before. Learning and development professionals should remember the Weak Ties theory when designing social learning systems.

In my opinion, it’s not that providing on-demand learning and performance solutions is a new idea. What is new, however, is the ratio of on-demand solutions to more traditional training offerings.

Textbooks, blackboards, and overhead projectors remain the tools of choice for many teachers, at a time when their students are geared to learn from iPads, PowerPoint, and instant messaging. The result is a lost message, and a lost opportunity.

Personally, I’m still working on every new project to fine tune the proper “documentation ratio.&# Properly documenting expectations, responsibilities, and success factors can be one of the most vital aspects of successful project management, but it’s so often overlooked or treated as merely an exercise.

Of course, the person “next to you” might just as often be consulted via email or other online tool, but it doesn’t change this fact: the amount of workplace learning done in formal training sessions is a tiny fraction of of the learning that takes place one-on-one, between coworkers.

While many large corporations still fear wikis for internal communication because they are “hard to control,” a number of intelligence agencies have been using a wiki tool – called Intellipedia – for several years. Apparently, it’s working. Some might confuse the use of wikis with sometimes controversial organizations like Wikileaks.
