Informal Learning
Companies spend the most money on formal learning which is the smallest part of the learning equation. The other 80 percent of learning happens informally as the learner creatively adapts to ever changing circumstances. Examples of such informal knowledge transfer include instant messaging, a spontaneous meeting on the Internet, a phone call to someone who has information you need, a live one-time-only sales meeting introducing a new product, a chat-room in real time, a chance meeting by the water cooler, a scheduled Web-based meeting with a real-time agenda, a tech walking you through a repair process, or a meeting with your assigned mentor or manager.
