Informal Learning: The 70/20/10 Model

Informal Learning: 70/20/10 in Education

Informal Learning: The 70/20/10 Model is a Learning and Development model, according to the Princeton University Learning Process.

• 70% of learning & development takes place from real-life and on-the-job experiences, tasks, and problem solving. This is the most important aspect of any learning and development plan. For example, the real learning from a skill acquired in a training program, or from feedback, takes place back on the job when the skill or feedback is applied to a real situation.
• 20% comes from feedback and from observing and working with role models.
• 10% of learning and development comes from formal training.

70/20/10 in Managing Innovation

The 70/20/10 Model is a business resource management model pioneered by Eric E. Schmidt and articulated about Google in 2005.

This model dictates that, to cultivate innovation, employees of a company should utilize their time in the following ratio:

• 70% of time should be dedicated to core business tasks.
• 20% of time should be dedicated to projects related to the core business.
• 10% of time should be dedicated to projects unrelated to the core business.
