Six years ago few people believed that informal learning made much of a difference. Today’s common wisdom is that most workplace learning is experiential, unplanned, social, and informal. Informal learning tops many training department agendas. Companies are attracted by the low price tag.

After my last blog post , a commenter asked a pertinent question: Many organizations/companies have multiple intranets, wiki sites, and so forth, often making it difficult for employees to know where to go when they want an answer or more information. Typically, each business unit is providing a portal of their information for others to use.

Technology is essential to run learning like a business. Here the first learning technology an organization needs is a good learning management system (LMS).

That first round of e-learning largely failed for precisely this reason. You can’t remove the humans from learning. Companies should embrace network-supported informal learning because it works better, not because it reduces labor costs. New communities have different requirements than old.

Learning is not shifting into the work context – it is catching up. We are behind the flow of business, and many of us do design and develop solutions for the bigger slice of the learning opportunity pie. The type of learning that is rapidly trending upward is informal learning. This is not a drill.
