It looks at the extent to which these heads of training are managing the informal learning process within their organizations, what improvements they would like to make to this end, and what opportunity, if any, there is for vendors of learning services and technologies. Their responses provide significant insight into a number of informal learning?related issues such as: What are the primary drivers for informal learning? How do learning professionals describe their company's management of informal learning? What solutions do learning professionals expect to adopt in the next 12?18 months to support informal learning? What is the greatest impediment to support strategies for informal learning? What can providers of learning services and technologies do to address the increased interest in informal learning?"Employees are constantly engaging in informal learning activities whether they realize it or not, and it certainly accounts for a much greater portion of their professional development than formal learning initiatives," said Peter McStravick, senior research analyst, Learning Services. "A strategy, therefore, that supports this kind of self-directed development is vital to a company's success." Get Full Details About This Report >> |
