DESCRIPTION

Laura Overton shares the findings of the 2013-14 Towards Maturity Benchmark study. The report outlines a New Learning Agenda for business and learning leaders to deliver 21st century learning that supports the priorities of 21st century learners and organisations. Based on the data gathered from 540 L&D professionals from 44 countries and 2,000 learners, the session considers how L&D can develop rapport with business leaders, how to build skills and talent, how to effectively use technology and how to prepare the learning function for change. It outlines a nine point agenda of lessons learned from investigating effective L&D practices over the last ten years to help better prepare for the next ten years. The full research report is free to download at www.towardsmaturity.org/2013benchmark thanks to Towards Maturity’s Ambassadors who share our passion that great research should be freely available to all.

New Learning Agenda for 2014

10 years ago………..At a time when 60% of technology enabled learning projects were failing our first study looked at what could be learned from those that were successful.

Behaviour of top learning companies was similar to today.

But approaches of top learning companieshave not been embraced widely.

Many good practice measures shared today have not shifted over the last few years.

Over the years we have more data and insight to help learning and business work more effectively together so what can we learn from the last 10 years to help us prepare for then ext 10 years?

Learning and business leaders now share common goals around:

TalentTechnology

ChangeIt is now time for learning and business leaders to share a new learning

agenda in order to achieve those goals

Where Learning meets Business10 years on we now know that

Learning innovation, done well, delivers results

Talent

Technology

New Learning Agenda

• Treat learners as customers

context, to deliver great business results through engaged and motivated

staff.
