Takeaways
Informal learning, or performance support, can be a powerful complement to any formal learning program if properly positioned. The problem for many is that we haven’t taken as intentional a focus on the informal as we have on the formal. Here are some key takeaways to help make that a reality: • Always design for all five moments of need that learners experience, focusing first on the last three and them supplementing with the first two. • Elevate performance support to a dominating discipline within your learning offerings. • Don’t be distracted by any one tool. Consider all the appropriate options and tools to create a true blended solution • Always consider the important role trainers play in the implementation of a performance support strategy. • Introduce and teach performance support in formal training where the learner can become familiar with how the tollways approaches work once they return to the job.
