Informal learning in the workplace

from Steen Elsborg, Learning Lab Denmark
"the workplace is primarily special as a learning arena due to its overriding focus on optimising the output. The informal learning takes place in a context where the ultimate goal is to produce a certain product as efficiently as possible." and "According to the consortium’s findings, there are two ways an organisation can strengthen the informal learning:

1. In terms of quantity by optimising the opportunities for informal learning in the daily work.

2. In terms of quality by highlighting the process and facilitation of conscious reflection on the daily practice. "
