For many learning organizations, the term “AGILE” has become a hot topic. Often, when referred to in a business sense, AGILE strategies tend to focus on more project management or software development areas (such as with achieving continuous improvement, maintaining scope, increasing flexibility, obtaining team inputs, and with delivering high-quality products) than on instructional design strategies. Does this model support or hinder the learning experience?

Though we’re not always conscious of it, we benefit from informal learning every day—in our homes, workplaces and on the road. . Informal learning is driven by mobile devices. This is how learning and readiness in our lives outside of work feels: it’s peer-driven, it happens just in the nick of time, and it feels totally informal. But surprisingly, many sales organizations have yet to harness the power of this kind of learning at work.

but ADDIE is beginning to show its age: Training is only part of the learning equation. Whether of not they learn is an entirely different matter. Learning requires motivation. Modern instructional design needs to focus on creating flexible environments that nurture learning rather than rigid programs that attempt to force lessons into the heads of learners. It needn’t be this way, particularly since knowledge work and learning are nearly indistinguishable.
