Insights Brian is happy to share from What's Your Formula?
- "Many organizations have central repositories of information, resources, policies, and other internal materials that are collaboratively stored somewhere employees across the organization can access. Some common collaborative file sharing platforms include SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, or internal wiki sites."
- "While this is not intended to be a book that goes deeply into organizational learning strategy, if you remember nothing else about elements 10 (Google) and 37 (collaborative file sharing), remember that not all learning needs to be done in a formal way. Offering guidance and leveraging organizational tools and platforms to share knowledge can offer people around your organization an opportunity to learn exactly what they need, when they need it, 24 hours a day."
- "If you’re using Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to deliver content as part of your learning design, consider using the Lesson Plan element. By crafting a message or lesson plan for your subject matter experts that abides by the principles of adult learning, you can support them and help ensure learners are exposed to meaningful learning experiences."
