What Does This Mean for L&D?
How Your Managers Want to Learn
“Employees at all levels expectdynamic, self-directed, continuouslearning opportunities from their
employers”
Global Human Capital Trends 2016 (Deloitte University Press)
A Vision For Learning Tomorrow
1. Learning as an environment & experience – not a programme.2. We maximise reach & impact by positioning the learner as our
customer.3. Learners use resources from inside and outside the company
through a modern, fresh, consumer-style experience.4. No delivery format is dead in a learner-centric model – it is a
continuous, blended learning environment.5. On-demand resources provide standard learning – while L&D
focuses on specialist areas specific to its organisation.

5 Key Takeaways
How Your Managers Want to Learn
5 Key Takeaways
1. Managers are busy and stressed. They spend a lot of time learning, mainly in their own time.
2. They insist that learning is self-directed, and they want to be in control.
3. They use search and recommendations to find it. L&D needs to “market” to them to influence them.
4. L&D can enable this, by providing high-quality, easily-found,online, on-demand learning, in the format managers want.
5. This frees L&D to focus on strategic, organisation-specific learning that drives unique competitive advantage.
