The buzz about Learning 2.0 and Social Learning has turned into a
clamor. Organizations know they need to jump onto this bandwagon, but
they worry about how. Formal learning is well established and is well
understood. Informal learning seems obvious but too ill-defined. Now is
the time to move into the third dimension of learning, where formal and
informal learning intersects with intention. Some experts have called
this 'formalizing informal learning' while others term it 'non-formal'
learning. Regardless of what it's called, this third dimension extends,
enables and enhances learning in ways never possible before.
Identifying and describing these new learning approaches and
technologies is the easy part. So, come and join me to learn an
approach to when and how you should formalize informal learning in your
organization, how to market it to senior management, mid-management and
the workforce, and what it takes to successfully implement this third
dimension learning to produce powerful results.

Lance Dublin has been an advocate for innovative approaches to
learning and change throughout his career. He went from designing a
weeklong "Experiment in Free Form Education" program in high school to
co-founding one of the nation's first fully accredited "University
Without Walls". Then recognizing the impact of new user-centered
technologies on people, business and learning, he founded and built
Dublin Group, a company which became a leader in improving individual
and organizational performance and implementing large-scale change.
Lance is now an independent management consultant,
international speaker and author based in San Francisco, California and
serving clients world-wide. He specializes in strategy development,
program design, and implementation for corporate learning programs and
organizational change management. He brings to his work more than 30
years' experience in adult education and training, communication and
change leadership, and motivation and innovation. He is the co-author
of the capstone book in ASTD's e-learning series, "Implementing
e-Learning".
Lance was Founder, President and CEO of Dublin Group from its
formation in 1983 until he sold the company in 1998. Under his
leadership this company became recognized for its innovative solutions
to improving individual and organizational performance and effective
approaches to successfully implementing large-scale change initiatives.
Prior to this, Lance was the founder, Dean and later Provost of Antioch
University/West, an innovative accredited bachelor's and master's
degree program serving 1,000 students in the western states and Hawaii.
