Learning and Performance Ecosystems: Strategy, Technology, Impact, and Challenges

The increasing complexity of the world in which we live and work requiresus to be more sophisticated in how we learn. We must be better prepared tolearn on demand, with minimum disruption to our workflow and productivity. Withthis goal in mind, it is increasingly critical that the resources we put inplace to help us learn—and ultimately perform—be as direct, effective, andinstantly available as possible.

To accomplish this, we must move away from individual, siloed, “one-off”solutions to an ecosystem comprisedof multi-faceted learning and performance options that enhance the environmentsin which we work and learn.

This complimentary white paper, by Marc J. Rosenberg and Steve Foreman, explores learning andperformance ecosystems from conceptual, technological, cultural, and managerialperspectives, and looks into how this new framework will dramatically impactthe ways in which people learn and work. It lays a foundation for further discussion,experimentation, and innovation into new ways to leverage all that we knowabout learning to improve workforce performance.
