Let's face it: many of us obtain the knowledge and data we require to complete our work by using the internet. This informal learning trend is unlikely to change soon, so training professionals need to find a way to address it. Some are threatened by this reality; others have been tasked with quantifying and evaluating it.
 
This webinar will explain why informal learning is actually an opportunity for you to expand your influence as a learning and performance consultant, and deliver increased value to your organization. You will learn where to invest your time and resources to create the greatest training impact. You will hear how you can evaluate and report the impact of both formal and informal learning.
 
You will come away inspired to design and manage integrated learning and performance plans that will position you as an indispensable team member in the eyes of stakeholders.
 
Objectives

By participating in this session, you will:

• Obtain tactics to integrate informal learning into an overall learning and performance plan
• Learn how to increase your organizational value by expanding your influence as a facilitator and communicator
• Understand what is at risk if you focus only on formal training
