Just in Time Learning

Today we talk about JIT (Just in Time Learning). Similar to its manufacturing cousin, JIT Learning has many advantages that make it the learning theory of the future (and the future is now). JIT Learning is studying the lessons and concepts that you need to implement at the time of implementation and not earlier.

Today we talk about JIT (Just in Time Learning). Similar to its manufacturing cousin, JIT Learning has many advantages that make it the learning theory of the future (and the future is now). JIT Learning is studying the lessons and concepts that you need to implement at the time of implementation and not earlier.

Just in Time Learning is more important today than it ever has been and here is why:

  • We have access to so much knowledge- we can’t keep it all.
  • Not all knowledge is evergreen.
  • Time is limited.
  • Learning for tomorrow is just avoiding today.
  • Knowledge is easily accessible.

The secret to progressing forward and creating success in your life and in your work is to do the things necessary for today….now. Knowledge is readily accessible and should be consumed and used at the time of implementation. Just in Time Learning is productive and efficient learning.
