Learning takes time and patience. It is a process — a journey. A self - directed learning process is arguably the most powerful model for facilitating and inspiring individual, group and organizational learning and development. A learning process should serve to empower people to guide themselves through their personal learning and development journey. This process is built upon three major principles: 1. Identification of gaps between one’s IDEAL self and REAL self. These gaps represent a primary motivator to learn and improve. 2. Creation and implementation of a challenging and realistic action plan for development that follows the 70/20/101 formula: . A. 70% from real life and on-the-job experiences, tasks and problem solving. This is the most important aspect of any learning and development plan. B. 20% from feedback and from observing and working with role models. C. 10% from formal training. 3. Ongoing development dialogue between learners and supervisors. Both have a responsibility to ensure that the entire learning process happens.
