Effective Learning CommunitiesJust in time learning with the people and and resources you trust. Maximize informal learning for employee development by intelligently matching employees to the people and resources they need most.
Learners get only about 25 percent or less of what is used at work through formal learning. This has come to be widely known as the 75/25 Rule of Learning. The majority of companies that provide training are currently involved only with the formal side of the continuum. Most of today’s investments are on the formal side. The net result is that companies spend the most money on the smallest part - 25% - of the learning equation. The other 75 percent of learning happens as the learner creatively adopts and adapts to ever changing circumstances. The informal piece of the equation is not only larger, it’s crucial to learning how to do anything. A challenge for any large organization is encouraging employees to learn about one another. And if your company spans multiple locations, the challenge to find specific resources becomes even greater. Managers need tools to keep up with their team members and create programs that will motivate growth and promote collaboration. Our talentNet™ solution can be integrated as a component of your blended learning strategy. Learning more about who you work with is an integral aspect of any training program. Finding mentors has never been easier.

KudosIt’s critical that a company engage the collective intelligence of their marketplace i.e. “whoever learns from the most brains wins!” As such, we launched an introNetwork site for the over 16,000 readers of my “Growth Guy” blog and newsletter. We also used the site to help connect the executive participants at our recent Sales and Marketing Summit co-produced with FORTUNE Small Business magazine. The detailed profiles have not only helped our audience make meaningful connections to power their businesses, but it’s helping us shape our editorial focus –Verne Harnish, Syndicated “Growth Guy” columnist and CEO, Gazelles
"introNetworks is the best tool I've ever used to find the people I need to network with. It not only saves time, it gives me a whole new way to think about who I need to see and why. Best of all, it's a lot of fun." - Hunter Millington, Sales/Marketing Professional, Scientific American
"Experience indicates that almost all real learning for performance is informal, and the people from whom we learn informally are usually present in real time." -The Institute for Research on Learning, 2000, Menlo Park - Wikipedia entry on Informal Learning |
