The article discusses the significance of industrial survey in assessing informal learning training in the U.S. One approach in finding whether informal learning is manageable is to contemplate what a workshop on informal learning would look like. The workshop initially would be more survey than training and be less information directed and more about information gathering. Moreover, the discovery mode of dialogue should focused on determining the extent to which it is possible to not only capture the dynamics of informal learning interaction, but also to develop the managerial metrics to direct, track, and evaluate its frequency and quality.
