By its very nature, informal learning is difficult to comprehend in
detail and equally hard to manage. However, it is becoming
increasingly important for companies to understand and leverage
informal learning, according to this new study commissioned by the
American Society for Training & Development (ASTD). If
organizations can harness the potential of informal learning, it
can become an unusually powerful and cost-effective performance

works and how to improve its effectiveness. The study breaks the
findings into six main categories that best explain how and why to
harness the potentially untapped power of informal learning. [PDF
