Why Remote Working Kills Spontaneous, Informal Learning In The Flow Of Work

Spend a week sat in close proximity to one of your best managers or sales people and you will pick up more learning than if you attended a 3 day course.

Informal learning and learning in the flow of our work forms, in my opinion at least, 80% of all of the learning that we do. This figure may be higher for some of you.

It’s eves dropping into a call that someone is making over the phone, it’s over hearing a chat that two top performers are having in a break out area or it’s that quick “Can I run something past you?” chat with a peer that creates so much learning and creativity.

During lockdown everyone overdosed on webinars. The world became full of Zoombies! Webinars were used for meetings and for virtual training.
