An Informal Conversation about Informal Learning
You can’t get too formal when your topic is informal learning.
Shortly after my book on informal learning came out, I told an audience, “I’m really glad to be here because I’m looking forward to hearing what I have to say.” It’s been improv ever since. Spontaneity is part of the magic of conversation.
So join Mark Sylvester and me to listen in on an informal conversation later this week. We’ll see where it takes us…

Not familiar with the concept of Informal Learning? Join us on March 26 as we explore this critical topic with the man who literally wrote the book on Informal Learning, Jay Cross.
Did you know that learners absorb 25% or less of what the knowledge used at work through formal learning? Unfortunately, the majority of companies that provide training today are currently involved only with this side of the continuum. With most of today’s investments being focused on the smallest part – the 25% – of the learning equation, a huge opportunity is being missed every day. Research has shown that the other 75 percent of learning happens as the learner creatively adopts and adapts to ever changing circumstances. This informal piece of the equation is not only larger; it’s crucial to learning how to do anything. This is what we will focus on in our webinar and it may be one of the more interesting and informative hours you spend this spring. Jay Cross has advised hundreds of companies for over 30 years, this is your chance to ask him questions to better understand how your organization should be thinking about learning. Topics conversation will include: And much more… Jay is a champion of informal learning, Web 2.0, and systems thinking.
