Informal Learning
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that 70% of all learning that occurs in the workplace is conveyed informally. For companies looking to improve overall organizational knowledge, they must identify ways to support learning that is occurring outside of formal learning management systems (LMS).

Informal training and learning occurs all over the organization-in meetings, informal discussions, company conferences, web conferences, user meetings and social network communities. These informal training meetings are not often thought of as learning events or training. Apart from the formal learning, there is never a test. Training departments recognize that informal learning takes places in their organizations but have often taken a hands-off approach to capturing, sharing and leverage informal learning.
Leverage Your Organization
Harnessing informal training and disseminating it to everyone represents an opportunity for learning organizations to facilitate knowledge transfer throughout the organization. Informal learning can be spun up quickly, allowing an organization to react to changing market conditions, with new ideas and processes that would be difficult to design, build and deliver in a timely manner via formal learning systems.
