Session Description: Accenture's strategy requires that employees grow deep skills in hundreds of different specialization areas. Research shows that training is effective at building basic levels of proficiency, but is not the total solution. We will discuss Accenture's efforts to "formalize informal learning" as another way to build specialized skills. Our learning professionals work with expert practitioners to define job experiences and collaboration activities that drive expertise. These activities are presented as "specialization roadmaps" via our enterprise LMS, enabling us to build specialized skills at scale.

*: How formal and informal learning are used together to grow deep skills
