The external Review-Refine-Reflect loop seems to be lacking in many workplace training & development structures. First of all, there are often restrictions on what information you can review, often limited to whatever is allowed on the intranet, like Books 24/7. In many workplaces, there is little time for reflection. Too often, action trumps reflection.
The activities inside the dotted line seem to reflect the constrained space of much workplace learning. Meta learning (outside the box) is the opportunity to develop deeper thinking and learning skills. This is a good diagram to show the value of informal, networked social learning.
