THE KNOWING-DOING GAP SOCIAL LEARNING AND EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Training & Performance Support •  Ongoing investment in all companies

Gap Acceleration •  5 Years = 10X change

means –  Individuals fall farther behind –  Become less productive –  Add less value –  Become less employable –  Drain profitability

•  Consequence –  Less competitive –  More likely takeover target

We all learn differently •  At different rates •  For different reasons •  One size fits all?

–  Not particularly well

•  “Learning Preferences” not learning style

•  Why most training fails

•  Learning how adults learn –  Adult learning and ESL –  Khan/Flipped Classroom –  Pair programming/agile

•  Demand –  Innovate learning

processes

•  Solution –  Social Learning

Closing the Knowing-Doing Gap

Our Vision •  Mobile

–  Native to tablets and smartphones •  Social

–  Live help, study buddies, private messaging

•  Small chunks –  15, 7, and 3 minute learning

intervals •  “Network learning objects”

–  Atomic unit of learning –  Media + Metrics + Real-time

reporting •  “Knowledge GPS”

–  Skill attainment validation –  Next-best thing to learn –  Enterprise wide dashboard

•  “Gamification” –  Adult learning best practices

•  Small-group projects •  Fast feedback cycles •  Rewards and recognition •  Badging and leader board

–  Immersive •  Multimedia sequences •  Game-like engagement •  Popup quizzes and assessment

•  Transmediation –  Curricula disaggregation –  Reconstituted as networked

learning object –  Assembly in mobile native forms

Closing the Gap •  Problem to solve

–  Effective learning that fits the mobile engagement modes of today’s workers •  Solution components

–  Articulated knowledge: Procedures, training material, etc. –  Tacit Knowledge: SME Interviews, practitioner discussions, etc. –  Knowledge validation: Lean manufacturing of learning intervals

•  Innovation process design –  Mission and business goals: Training, performance support, employee

engagement, institutional knowledge –  Readiness assessment: What works, what is broken/missing, etc. –  Minimum viable products: Fast-cycle hypothesis-testing –  Engagement: Bottom-up user feedback

ENGINE OF LEARNING NETWORKED LEARNING OBJECTS AND ACTION SETS

Engine of Learning •  Learning Intervals

–  15, 7, or 3 minutes •  Mobile Engagement

–  Action Sets •  Social Environment

–  Scheduled and ad hoc peer mentoring

•  Digital Assets –  networked learning objects

•  Instrumentation –  Real-time monitoring of

micro-learning activities •  Learning Analytics

–  Skill attainment dashboard •  Prescriptive Action

–  Suggested next lessons –  Remedial exercises

Networked Learning Object Benefits •  Faster time-to-fluency / skill

attainment •  Faster training of new and

replacement staff •  Documented compliance •  Performance support

–  Just-in-time learning •  Faster, lower-cost updates

–  Training material –  Manuals –  Corporate publications

ALTERNATIVES OPTIONS FOR IMPROVING TRAINING AND

PERFORMANCE SUPPORT

Easy Options •  Do nothing, wait for

retirement •  Form a committee to

study how to research the issue.

•  Insinuate that someone else form/lead a taskforce.

•  Buy an LMS and use technology in place of a “baked” strategy

•  Hire expert training consultancy to parachute a solution into the organization.

•  Fumble forward in DIY mode.

Four Essential Items to Address •  Business needs skilled workers for innovation •  Employees need to close personal “Knowing-

Doing Gap” •  Align business protocols, performance support

and employee engagement. •  Provide common cloud based platform & related

mobile learning material

•  Learning, Performance support, and Personal Development

•  Smartphones & Tablets •  Mobile “ePub3” •  Immersive •  Interactive •  Measurable

A Common Platform

•  Self-directed study •  Instant help / coaching •  Small-group study circles •  Scheduled 1-on-1 mentoring •  Managed networked learning objects •  Skill-attainment tracking and feedback

Social Learning Environments
