A set of encyclopedias to help you remember the state capitals? A cooking course to make a box of macaroni and cheese? We don’t think so.
Traditional methods of learning will only carry you so far. Understanding the concept–and the value–of informal learning can help move your organization into a new era of productivity.
Many companies are upside down in their logic. Some are still spending 70% of their training budgets on formal training that covers only 10% of the organization’s development needs. Learners need to do their job in an ever-changing environment, and it’s pretty certain that they’re not getting their most creative answers or most effective collaboration from classroom instruction alone.
Your learners are already embracing informal learning (80% of learning occurs outside the classroom) and it’s time for you to get on the train. Let us help you identify how your people are already learning informally, where gaps exist, and how to build a proactive strategy that will resonate with learners up, down, and across your organization.
We can help.
Intrepid Learning can partner with you to help you understand, create, and deliver short form content that makes sense to people on the go. We’ll incorporate research, consulting, technology and outsourcing to help you navigate through the often confusing and conflicting world and create informal learning solutions for you.
