I suspect 1 in 4 employees are micro-learning today through Twitter, Facebook updates (see my related post here (http://snurl.com/3xoee) and FB group on the same theme (http://snurl.com/3wezc), or a whole host of other tiny channels with potential for learning large lessons. I suspect it will be at least a year before we see widespread adoption of similar tools behind the firewall, and that will depend mostly on the quality of the tools coming out. Unlike other enterprise tools, if companies don’t adopt these, their people will circumvent the organization and micro-message on unsecured sites. There will always be people who don’t see the benefits of tools like these. They are the same ones who don’t think learning happens nonstop and informally in-house. That’s OK. Those around them are learning anyway. The damns are gone. Best to be leaning to paddle and swim.
