You’re absolutely spot on that it’s not about implementing informal learning but about enabling, encouraging and promoting it. Indeed, this is the challenge faced by most L&D professionals and there’s no product or system in the world which will crack it for us. Getting managers and employees to recognise, embrace and drive their own learning is what it's all about and the research just published by Good Practice is a useful reference point for this. Great link from Charles to the ITA blog – taking a step by step approach really won't take us far enough and leapfrogging to social learning might actually create more genuine demand for everything inbetween, creating a better business case for all of this.

Sticking plaster over traditional formal instructional models and calling it ’supporting informal learning’ is not really a solution of any value. It needs some thinking, and acting, outside the box. Jay’s ’straight to the finish line’ piece on the Internet Time Alliance blog (http://internettime.posterous.com/go-straight-to-the-finish-line) provides a challenging roadmap that needs to be adopted.

My point of view on the importance of using all forms of learning to improve performance is well known. I’ve long said that the most vital learning technology is human conversation and the survey respondents seem to agree. We should set up an online conversation about your findings. Internet Time Alliance and Good Practice chat about implementing informal learning. Put it on YouTube. You guys interested? Thanks for sponsoring this survey and bringing its conclusions to light.
