Informal Learning at Work
Get results by doing things a little differently…
After much prompting by clients who had benefited from his input, Paul started distilling down his knowledge into this engaging book that has since become a classic in L&D.
Informal Learning is a powerful, high impact form of learning. But the challenge for many is how to leverage that power without destroying the informality that makes it so powerful.
Discover why it’s the powerhouse of learning and how you can start to make it work for your organisation. Despite millions spent on training, surveys show that the majority of workers are delivering far less than they are capable of. Harnessing the power of informal learning can tangibly improve worker performance, right at the point of work.
This book shows you how you could achieve it, using practical advice from workplace learning experts, and examples and case studies from around the world. Discover how you can guide and direct informal learning in your organisation by applying some simple steps. By channelling the effectiveness of informal learning, you can improve capability and performance at the point of work.
“Informal Learning at Work’ has changed my mind-set and provided a framework and direction for how better performance can be achieved.”
Adrian Kingswell, Head of Learning & Development, Hampshire Constabulary
“Paul has clearly identified where informal learning can provide cost-effective and high impact ways of improving workforce engagement and capability. He also explores barriers to learning, an often-overlooked factor when people are developing learning strategies.”
David Apparicio, JP, FRSA, LiCIPD, FITOL, Former Head of Learning & Development at The Royal Mail
