Teach to Reach Dialogue: Karen Watkins on incidental and informal learning to make a difference
Author or co-author of 6 books, over 80 articles, and numerous book chapters, Karen Watkins's scholarly interests include incidental learning, action science, and organizational learning assessment. With Victora Marsick, they developed and validated an instrument to measure learning culture and performance. Karen helped found The Geneva Learning Foundation in 2016, guiding the development of its immunization programme. In 2019, she performed the first evaluation of the programme, providing evidence to support the invention of the Impact Accelerator, a radically-new method to lead and measure change. In this interview, she will share the key insights about learning that has underpinned the Foundation's execution of the idea that education, at its best, is a powerful philosophy for change in the Digital Age.
