Release of the Learning While Working Manifesto: fixing what’s broken

It’s the time of year for forecasts and predictions. But instead of adding to them, Sprout Labs is releasing our Learning While Working Manifesto. We’re also working on a framework and other planning tools. The Learning While Working Framework is based on the 70:20:10 learning concept.

Workplace learning is broken. Most organisations are not getting the results they need from their learning programs. 
Some of the reason for this are:

• our workplaces are rapidly becoming more complex and most people are not learning fast enough
• the complexity of the decisions that need to be made in the workplace is increasing
• eLearning has not fully realised its potential for transforming learning.

Experiential learning concepts like the 70:20:10 framework are beginning to make a difference. Learning at work needs to reflect the natural way we learn, it needs to restore our curiosity, and it needs to support our desire to learn with others.

To achieve this, workplace learning doesn't just need another tool or piece of technology. What is needed is a different way of thinking about how to design learning at work.
