Bob Mosher, Chief Learning and Strategy Evangalist at LearningGuide Solutions, has produced a short video to help L&D professionals to understand, strategize, and implement performance support solutions.

"The next great frontier for organizations is architecting a full learning journey for workers and making informal learning intentional," says Bob Mosher, who has spent his career helping organizations with their learning strategies. "80% of learning takes place in the workplace informally, yet most informal learning happens by accident, it's unintentional."

"L&D professionals already know this. The challenge they face - with the need for learning and a more flexible skills base increasing exponentially - is how to harness informal learning so that it delivers high-performance, productivity and creativity," Mosher added.

In his short video Making social media work, Mosher discusses why supporting informal learning with good performance support learning assets is a critical step in harnessing informal learning to deliver the full learning journey needed in organizations.
