THE KNOWING-DOING GAPSOCIAL 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 LEARNINGNETWORKED 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
ALTERNATIVESOPTIONS 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.
OR INNOVATE!
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
