INFORMAL LEARNING Strategies for Developing Central Indiana Leaders

Many Central Indiana learning and talent development leaders have been embracing mentoring and informal learning for developing their leaders. As the workforce becomes more diverse, the traditional and formal learning structures are becoming inadequate to fully support multi-generations and inclusion. Mentoring is emerging as a key and critical component to many organizations talent development programs. Ondrea McAulay (Director - Talent & Performance Management at First Merchants), Ellen Poffenberger (HR leader formerly IUPUI), & Rebecca Ahlgren-Bedics (Associate Director of Educational Affairs at NCAA) explains the various types of informal learning strategies at the Central Indiana Peer-Networking Leadership Book Discussion Breakfast held on December 9, 2010 at First Merchants Indianapolis.
