The SMARTER Approach to Workplace Learning

I have already been helping a number of organisations re-think their whole approach to "learning" - driven by my analysis of the changing marketplace, and described in my State article above - but I haven't  explained my approach explicitly here before.  So here it is - The SMARTER Approach to Workplace - which is summarised in the following statements.

S - Social and collaborative approaches underpin the SMARTER approach to workplace learning.  This does not simply mean throwing social media tools at a problem to create a social solution, but more importanly means ...
M - shifting your thinking towards a Knowledge Economy mindset that includes encouraging ..
A - autonomous learners/workers to solve their own learning/business problems in their own way, which means and will lead to ..
R - a reduction in the amount of formal training provided - since training is certainly not the answer to every learning or business problem.
T - All of the above will be underpinned by technology  ...
E - BUT by a technology-enabled approach (e.g. using a collaboration platform) rather than a technology-managed approach (e.g. a LMS).
R - This will lead to a more responsive and agile organisation, and one where "learning=working and working=learning".
