"Every-Day Learning?"
A TRENDS Interactive Conversation!
Most organizational learning is occasional learning. Sometimes, very occasional. A worker might attend a class once a year. And, they might take an e-Learning module every few weeks. But, things change every day!
What about an approach called "Every-Day Learning?"
I am not talking about informal or self-service learning, which are both highly important. In this instance, I am proposing a structured model of daily learning activities. Here are a few examples:
* A police officer gets into a squad car, which is now equipped with a wireless PC. As part of the check-in routine, they must take a short module of learning content, prior to leaving the parking lot.
* Flight attendants go to a briefing prior to the start of a flight.
They participate in a short peer-taught lesson from a daily curriculum.
* Customer service reps respond to a daily scenario, built from 2 difficult incidents the previous day. Their responses are shared in a collaborative environment. Each day, this scenario becomes the buzz of the call center.
* A leadership development program is broken into 200 modules, delivered once a day to each senior succession candidate. Each is asked to respond and share.
* Field sales representatives build a daily module covering a learning from a sales call. These are then sent to other sales reps around the country.
Let's challenge our assumptions of learning delivery timing. What if we were to create some modules or activities that became a daily part of the work pattern, for just a few minutes at a time?
What are the pros and cons of a model of "Every-Day Learning"?
Let's discuss this. Go to our interactive wiki and leave a comment or write a longer note:

I will summarize these back in a Learning TRENDS next week.
