    The key takeaways are that THINK40 aims for IBM employees to complete a minimum of 40 hours of professional development annually through a variety of formal and informal learning options.

    The three things you need to do to complete THINK40 are: 1) Reflect and plan, 2) Discuss and document your plan with your manager, 3) Complete the planned learning.

    Some examples of formal learning are Talent@IBM courses, virtual classes, and reading. Some examples of informal learning are completing learning on ILX, shadowing, mentoring/being mentored, and reading books/articles.
