HOW SOCIAL LEARNING IS POWERING UP TODAY’S WORKPLACES

THE QUOTE

Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behaviour is learned observationally through modelling; from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviours are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action.” – Albert Bandura (Originator of Social Learning Theory)

The research isn’t heartening. We’re still seeing an avoidance of social learning, the continual use of courses as the only solution, and consequently organizations that can’t adapt fast enough.” – Clark Quinn

THE JOURNEY

We, at Learnnovators, have always been fascinated by the enormous power of social learning, and have been following up researches and discussions by experts around this subject closely for some time now. We also have been “learning-out-loud” and “working-out-loud”, thereby trying our best to practice this form of learning.

So today, as we jumped into the social learning bandwagon, experimenting with and practising this learning form internally in our organization, it was but natural for us to recall Clark’s concern and to connect with our own questions on the subject. To get more insights on this, we embarked on a quick exploratory journey to seek out the answers.

Some of the questions we had in mind were:

We would love to hear from you.
