This document proposes a tiered service model for learning and development (L&D) departments within large organizations. It summarizes research finding that traditional L&D models are no longer effective due to rapid changes in knowledge, learning preferences, and expectations. A tiered model could segment business units by their learning maturity and provide differentiated levels of L&D support. This would improve efficiency by aligning resources to needs and allow L&D to better impact business performance and organizational learning culture through measures like learning maturity progression. The document recommends large organizations implement a tiered L&D service model to adapt to workplace changes and ensure the sustainability of L&D.
The document provides information about evaluating and comparing job offers in the IT field. It discusses considering financial factors like salary, bonuses, benefits, expenses, and relocation packages. It also emphasizes examining company culture, such as values, reputation, leadership, work-life balance, and technology used. The document stresses assessing job challenge, responsibilities, management style, opportunities for professional growth, and ability to do impactful work. It provides a systematic approach to evaluating multiple aspects of potential job offers in order to make an informed career decision.
As per Towers Watson's research, 56 % of employees in India believe they must leave their organization to advance to a better job. Comparative figures stand at 43% for the United States, 41 % percent for the United Kingdom, 38 % for China and 37 % for Germany. This clearly suggests that a large number of employees in India have come to seriously consider job-hopping as a means to advance their careers.

This new joint research paper delivered by Cegos Asia Pacific, Temasek Polytechnic and the Singapore Training and Development Assoc highlights the leadership and managerial challenges in the 2020 workplace - with special attention on Gen X'ers who are leaders-in-waiting. The research was carried out in Singapore and has inputs from across SE Asia.
There is much talk about Generation Y and that is fair enough! That said, we felt a focus on Generation X was needed as the changes in the workplace over the next 5-7 years will be enormous when you consider: The iGen joining the workforce, an Ageing population continuing to contribute to organisational success, the increasing integration and use of technologies at work and within learning, the multicultural and often remote working environment and much more.
Some key outputs here for developing the leadership and management skill-sets in this increasingly cross generational and multi-dimensional workplace.
The document discusses future work skills that will be needed over the next decade due to changes in technology and society. It identifies six key drivers of change: 1) Increased longevity, 2) Rise of smart machines, 3) A computational world with increased data and sensors, 4) New media ecologies, 5) Superstructured organizations enabled by social technologies, and 6) An increasingly globally connected world. It then presents ten skills that will be important for future workforces: social intelligence, transdisciplinarity, sense-making, novel and adaptive thinking, computational thinking, virtual collaboration, new media literacy, cross-cultural competency, cognitive load management, and design mindset. The skills are mapped to the relevant drivers to indicate

Cycling through the 21st Century Career: Putting Learning in its Rightful PlaceCognizant
Based on our primary research, we've developed a brand-new career model that values continuous learning to usher in a new era of work fit for the 21st century.
This document discusses the need for organizations and individuals to embrace lifelong employability in response to rapid changes in technology and the economy. The key points are:
1) Automation is already transforming many jobs and skills are becoming outdated faster, requiring continuous learning over a career.
2) Traditional training methods are often not effective for adult learning and companies need to leverage research on learning to develop more tailored, ongoing programs.
3) Degrees are not always necessary and alternative credentials from coding bootcamps or other programs should be recognized.
4) Companies should invest in developing the skills of frontline workers through tuition assistance to improve retention.

Predicting potential - Assessing Cognitive Ability in RecruitmentGavin Lamb
Employees with strong cognitive ability are a competitive advantage to an organisation - particularly when they are in
roles that require quick learning, first-time problem solving, thinking ‘on your feet’ and dealing with ambiguity. People who
score well on cognitive ability tests are more likely to develop a greater knowledge of the job more quickly, make effective
decisions and successfully reason and strategise to solve problems. In fact, a landmark study reviewed 85 years of research and found that higher cognitive ability is linked with higher productivity and performance.
How organisational learning needs to change to meet today's challengesInfor CERTPOINT
How Speed and Technology Change Everything.
In the recent past, training was a process almost disconnected from the daily operations of the rest of the organisation. Sometimes this gap was literal - training was often confined to a separate building.
At the same time, however, training's value was seldom questioned. It was understood to have a positive, if usually unmeasured, effect. The role of training was 'building capability' - giving employees 'just-in-case' knowledge and skills for use at some point in the future
In this Article CERTPOINT CEO Ara Ohanian outlines three key ways L&D departments must change to stay relevant.
Indian workers are more engaged than global averages, with 34% fully engaged and 13% disengaged. Career development and training are the top factors influencing satisfaction and contribution for Indian employees. While 65% of Indian workers plan to remain with their employer in 2008, fully engaged employees are less committed to staying than global averages. Development opportunities, feedback, and clarity on job expectations are most important across engagement levels but priorities shift based on engagement. Overall, Indian employees demonstrate high satisfaction but retention depends on continued opportunities and growth.

This document discusses communities of practice (CoPs) and employee motivation for engagement in CoPs. It defines CoPs and outlines their benefits for organizations, including knowledge sharing, innovation, and competitive advantages. Motivating employee participation is important for CoP success. Both intrinsic motivators like meaningful work and extrinsic motivators like rewards can encourage participation. Managerial support and adequate resources are also crucial. CoPs should be assessed using non-traditional metrics focused on knowledge application and organizational impacts over time. Ongoing evaluation of motivational techniques is needed to address changing community and member needs.

Significance of the training on enhancing effectiveness of communication skiIAEME Publication
This document summarizes a study on the significance of training in enhancing communication skills in the IT industry. The study found that most employees in the IT sector have received little training, with 40% attending only one training program. Those trainings focused on technical skills like networking rather than communication. However, effective communication is important for client satisfaction in the IT field. The study concluded that training is needed to develop employees' communication abilities and adapt them to changes in business environments. Providing such training could improve job performance and benefit both employees and organizations.

Businesses and educators know they need to prepare people for very different jobs in the future of work but are slow to revamp their training and educational models, according to our research. What’s needed are more flexible partnerships, predictive and agile approaches to curriculum change and digitally driven modes of delivery.
The document discusses the results of a survey by Cegos on how managers are dealing with disruption. Some key findings include:
- Many managers lack understanding of technology and could benefit from more training. Investment in technology is also inadequate in many organizations.
- Communication between managers and employees needs improvement in most regions. Managers must communicate more clearly and frequently.
- Diversity is generally welcomed but more can be done to promote inclusion. A quarter of respondents in India said organizations do not highly value diversity.
- Strategies are often unclear and lack input from employees. Three-quarters of respondents feel they have little influence on strategic decisions.

Robots are increasingly entering the workforce and disrupting the labor market. To prepare for this disruption, organizations need to develop new competencies in their workforce, including skills for interacting with and understanding robots, as well as innate abilities like social intelligence. However, interviews with HR and innovation managers found that organizations are largely unprepared for robots in the workforce. To fully prepare, organizations will need to update HR strategies and practices to develop competencies on an ongoing basis, embed skills development throughout the organization, and keep pace with other digital transformations.

Pyrimidine is a heterocycle that is the building block of many natural compounds including those found in RNA, DNA, antibiotics, and vitamins. It is resistant to electrophilic substitution reactions due to the electron deficient nature of its 2, 4, 6 positions. However, reactions can occur at the 5 position if an electron donating group is present. Pyrimidine undergoes nucleophilic addition reactions easily at its 2, 4, 6 positions and with oxidizing agents can form pyridine N-oxides, especially if an alkyl group is present. It is also synthesized through reactions with malonic esters, amidines, and from dichloropyrimidines. Many anticancer and antiviral

Purines and pyrimidines are the building blocks of nucleic acids. There are two purines - adenine and guanine - and three pyrimidines - thymine, cytosine, and uracil. They combine with the pentose sugars ribose or deoxyribose to form nucleotides. Ribose is found in RNA and deoxyribose, which lacks one oxygen, is found in DNA. A phosphate group attached to the sugar-nucleotide forms the backbone of nucleic acids. The sugar-phosphate backbone allows DNA to bond with water due to its negative charge. DNA stores genetic information that determines an organism's traits by instructing cells to make specific proteins.

The importance of Innovation and Technology in Organizational CultureAdedamolaAina
Organizational culture can be defined as shared values and beliefs that guide employee behavior. Cultures that foster innovation through enabling policies and values have competitive advantages. Internal integration, where employees work together and develop a shared identity, allows organizations to progress towards innovation. When measuring results, financial incentives do not always increase innovation. Subcultures may contradict the larger culture but can spark needed changes through new approaches. Technology choices are strategic and affect long term performance. Organizations that learn new technologies and keep staff updated tend to be more efficient and productive.

Learning & Development: A Prescriptive Vision for Accelerating Business SuccessCognizant
Corporate learning is increasingly critical to business, but traditional approaches are inefficient, overly rigid, fragmented and unconnected from employees' daily work - and thus ripe for transformation - as recent research reveals.
My fortnightly blog considers the new role and opportunities for corporate L&D teams in the shifting world of work and teams. Here's a summary of my most read blog posts from 2019.
This document provides a summary of key insights from a 2022 training trends report. It explores current challenges for learning and development (L&D) teams like maintaining quality while responding quickly to increased demand. It then outlines five trends expected to grow in 2022: 1) Microlearning becoming more prominent 2) Blended learning being reinvented 3) Increased use of video for employee learning 4) Artificial intelligence personalizing learning and 5) A greater focus on learner wellbeing. Interviews with industry experts suggest people-centered learning, data use, blended approaches, social learning, talent retention, and health/wellbeing will be important. Practical advice includes strengthening stakeholder relationships, empowering managers in learning, and setting a

n 2008, the United States spent an estimated $134 billion on em-
ployee training. Employers train employees for improving job skills,
career advancement, industry certifications, and the quality of life of
their employees, among other reasons. Employers presume a return on
their investment in the form of more qualified employees or employees
with a more positive attitude toward their job and organization. The last
thing an employer wants is to spend money that does not result in some
benefit for him.
The bottom line
The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) reported in
2008 that, on average, employers spent more than $1,000 per employee
for training—not accounting for time lost in training. Employers certainly
have embraced the need for employee training with such an expenditure.

This document summarizes a client success story where Right Management helped a large Australian financial institution implement a career development initiative for employees. The financial institution was working towards its 2017 workforce plan, which would change the working environment for one of its divisions.
Right Management created and implemented a career development program to help employees adapt to this change. The program aimed to build coaching capabilities in people leaders and equip employees with skills to make their own career decisions. It also sought to align employee development with future corporate needs while developing career agility. The initiative included creating an online career portal and conducting career conversations between managers and employees.

Factors Driving the Increasing Demand for Workplace Training
Change, growth, and development are facts of organizational life. Young people entering the workforce today typically change jobs at least seven times by their late 20s as they strive to figure out what they like, what they are good at, and where they can fit in and stand out (Hirsch, 2016). At the same time, as we noted in more detail in Chapter 1, the number as well as the mix of people available to work are changing rapidly. Globally, there will be many more older than younger people (“The first world is aging,” 2015; Qi, 2017), and in the United States, by 2040 the non-Hispanic white population will drop below 50% (Toossi, 2012).
These workforce dynamics have two major implications for employers. First, since products and services can be copied, the ability of a workforce to innovate, refine processes, solve problems, and form relationships becomes an organization’s only sustainable advantage. Attracting, retaining, and developing people with critical competencies is vital for success. Second, the task of managing a culturally diverse workforce, of harnessing the motivation and efforts of a wide variety of workers, will present a continuing challenge. Ongoing training and development initiatives are critical to meeting the need for competent, well-functioning workforces. The following four trends are driving the demand for well-designed and well-executed programs of workplace learning (Cascio, 2017):
Growing demands for personal and professional development. Among young adults, the most important feature they look for in a new job is the opportunity for continuous learning (Hirsch, 2016). From the perspective of organizations, surveys indicate a strong desire for employees who can “plug and play”—that is, perform with minimal on-the-job training. Unfortunately, only 11% of employers report that they have found such recruits (Abadzi, 2016; Coy, 2014; Weber, 2014). In addition to technical skills, employers are looking for p ...
This document discusses high performance work practices (HPWPs) that can improve organizational performance. It describes three distinct "bundles" of management practices: 1) high employee involvement, which encourages empowerment rather than top-down control; 2) suitable human resource practices for recruiting, selecting, and retaining key personnel; and 3) continuous improvement practices like quality circles. Implementing these bundles of practices can increase employee motivation, commitment, and productivity, leading to greater effectiveness and efficiency for the overall organization.
1. Recent research found that over 80% of organizational training may be wasted, with less than 20% of the $670 billion global training spend actually being applied in the workplace. This suggests over $500 billion is having no impact on business performance or results.
2. Traditional learning models do not help organizations maximize their return on training investments due to a lack of synergy between learning activities and organizational goals, inadequate learning transfer strategies, and an over-reliance on post-training evaluations ("happy sheets") to measure impact.
3. To increase the impact of learning and development, organizations need to define goals and expected outcomes up front, conduct pre- and post-training evaluations beyond just reaction measures, and implement
The document discusses how organizations can turn a "learning muddle" of disparate learning technologies into an integrated learning portal. It advocates placing the individual learner at the heart of the system to provide a clear development strategy from hiring to departure. A learning portal can demonstrate ROI/ROE by linking improvements in job skills and leadership behaviors to outcomes like retention, productivity and reputation. It concludes that unraveling the muddle requires commitment to change and a learning portal can help by clarifying goals, identifying gaps, and supporting development actions.
WTW: Employers look to modernize the employee value propositioniebanl
Under pressure to modernize and remain competitive in attracting talent, employers are looking to update their employee value proposition (EVP). The rapid rise of technology is disrupting jobs and skills needs. Organizations must actively monitor these changes and adapt their human capital programs. While hiring and turnover are increasing globally, attraction and retention challenges persist, especially for critical skills, high potentials, and top performers. To be successful, organizations must understand what employees truly value for job security and career development. The pace of modernizing EVPs will determine which organizations can best compete for high-value talent.

An Overview of MTS Systems Corporation
MTS Systems Corporation is a supplier of test systems as well as industrial position sensors all over the globe. The company deals with hardware and software solutions with the aim of accelerating and improving the design, development, and manufacture of products and structures. MTS operates in two segments, where in one segment it deals with sensors and in the other, with tests. The test department focuses on providing testing solutions that include software, hardware, and testing services. The sensors segment is keen on providing products to be used in mobile equipment and industrial tools manufacture in order to automate their operations, thus enhancing safety and productivity of the end users. The organization also provides tools to measure displacement in fluids, for instance, liquid levels for clients in industrial processes.
The organization provides a solution is an organization that seeks to pioneer in technology and provides unmatched expertise. Engineers depend on accuracy, certainty, and measurements to do their work, to conduct research and transform ideas into results that are tangible and working. MTS Systems is a corporation that is fully dedicated to this transformation in a manner that is faster, more efficient, easier and more successful. The company was established in 1966 with its headquarters at Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and has since worked in partnership with engineers worldwide.
MTS Systems has posted an impressive performance over the years, with revenues of about seven hundred and eighty million dollars in the 2016/2017 financial year, up from six hundred and fifty million dollars the previous financial year. This represents a 38.4% growth in revenue. Its profitability has also grown over the years, and the strong performance is expected to continue into the near future. However, it is important to note that the performance would be much better if the existing management problems were dealt with comprehensively and conclusively.
In order to arrive at a conclusive solution to the management problems facing MTS Systems, the company must begin with a comprehensive needs assessment that will open the eyes of the management to the reality facing their company. Oftentimes, managers just know that their organization is facing some challenges, but are likely to ignore such problems or fail to take their time to understand the gravity of such problems until they bring an organization to its knees. This is because it takes effort to carry out a needs assessment that ends up solving a problem in a company. Following below is a detailed needs assessment of the management problems bedevilin ...

1. Mass customization of products has become a common approach in manufacturing organizations. Explain the ways in which mass customization can be applied to service firms as well.
Mass customization of products has evolved as a favored business technique over time. Though this technique has been a useful tool in the manufacturing realm of business, it can also be beneficial within the service industry as well. Mass customization is defined as “using mass-production technology to quickly and cost – effectively assemble goods that are uniquely designed to fit the demands of individual customers” (Daft, 2016, p 271). The focus for this approach is to provide to customers exactly what they may need (Daft, 2016). This very focus can work well within service firms as the service sector has the desire to provide to their customer’s needs through intangible outputs which do not even come into effect until it’s requested by the customer (Daft, 2016).
Those that work in a service firm deal closely with their customers such as a lawyer representing their client in court or a teacher giving a lecture in the classroom. In circumstances such as these, the customer expects that their needs be provided for and that those who provide these services do so in a manner that is unique to the individual allowing the customer to get the most from the services rendered. The close interactions that are common within service sectors can be invaluable for an organization. Much of the success that is built for a service brand is dependent upon customer’s interactions with this brand (Kaltcheva, Patino, Laric, Pitta, & Imparato, 2014). Being that the success for a service brand is built from the satisfaction of their cliental, it is necessary for the service organization to place a focus on mass customization as this technique will allow providers the opportunity to cater to the unique needs of each individual.
2. A top executive claimed that superior management is a craft technology because the work contains intangibles (such as handling personnel, interpreting the environment, and coping with unusual situations that have to be learned through experience). If this is true, is it appropriate to teach management in a business school? Does teaching management from a textbook assume that the manager's job is analyzable and, therefore, that formal training rather than experience is most important?
Craft technologies describes activities that are not necessarily analyzable or ones that are able to be understood very easily (Daft, 2016). This type of technology requires that those who engage it go through a deeper and longer training cycle (Daft, 2016). Though craft technology does involve activities that are not able to be analyzed, it still would be beneficial to teach the topic of management within business school. Teaching the topic of management within business school may not advise students of all the challenges that will co.

Executive Summary
A research study was launched to identify and determine if a tiered service model can be
a viable and sustainable growth model for learning and development (L&D) within large
organizations. This study searched for published examples, models, reviews and trends. The
findings are summarized here.
Goals:
1. Answer the question; can a tiered service model for L&D help reduce overall allocations
across business segments while still providing support options to current and future
business partners.
2. Identify how business partners can/should be segmented and still maintain appropriate
levels of service.
3. Determine potential success measures for a tier model approach.
4. Answer the question: Is a tier model approach for L&D practical and sustainable for large
organizations?
Process:
1. Review existing tier models in either L&D or other corporate service sectors for viability
within L&D.
2. Review literature regarding objective methodology to segregate businesses for a tiered
approach.
3. Search for common definitions.
4. Integrate the results.
5. Provide recommendations.
4. 4
Findings:
1. No empirical studies found showing benefits of existing L&D organizations structured in
a tiered model approach.
2. Tiered models are used in other service sectors within a large corporate environment.
3. L&D has significant gaps in meeting the current trends.
4. The tiered model approach does suggest long-term sustainability and application to
address known gaps.
5. The tiered model can be based upon learning maturity.
6. Success measures to address known gaps suggest a long-term focus on performance
outcomes (or impact on business) and learning maturity progression across the
organization.
Recommendations:
1. Large organizations with internal L&D departments can benefit from a tiered service
model.
2. Business unit segmentation within tiers should be based upon, at least in part, evidence of
learning maturity in order to properly address unique learning needs.
3. Further empirical study on success metrics in a large organization that has employed a
tiered service model is needed…specifically addressing impact on the business and
organizational performance.

Introduction
The field of Learning and Development (L&D) has long been a critical component of
Human Resources. The traditional model for L&D is as a service to the greater internal business
functions and a cost on the bottom line. As a result, to reduce that cost mainly equates to creating
efficiencies. But, in the last several years, professionals in L&D have begun looking at other
models within the organization to include, how to become a source of competitive advantage
(Martinette and Obenchain-Leeson, 2009) by providing a direct tie to organizational performance
in a fast changing world.
Peter Senge (2008) continues to argue that an organizations ability to learn and change
(adapt) – becoming learning organizations – is the best way to competitive advantage. The
reality is in many organizations the current L&D model has not changed significantly neither
does it address specific business outcomes. The traditional L&D functions remain focused on
training events and report their success based upon Kirkpatrick level 1 or 2; a perceptional
assessment of the learning event. This research proposed to identify and determine: 1) if a tiered
service model can be a viable and sustainable growth model for learning and development
(L&D) within large organizations; 2) what are the success measures for a tiered model; and 3)
how should tiers be defined.
Background and Trends
Bob Dylan brought us, Times They Are A Changin (1964). Why does L&D need to
change anyway? Is it broken? Jeanne Meister and Karie Willyerd state that the workplace itself
is changing and if human resources does not adjust they may well be left behind (2010). The
function of HR is shifting. It not only requires the ability to recruit, grow their human resources,
provide ‘meaningful experiences’ (Morgan, 2016) but, also to facilitate access to the necessary
6. 6
knowledge at just the right time (CEB, 2015). Since L&D has been a traditional part of human
resources in many large organizations, their model of success has often been relegated to
measurement of past performance on their ability to simply taking training orders and deliver on
those orders. The age of the knowledge worker and the knowledge organization has evolved and
operates now with a new reality; the source for competitive advantage (as Senge has always
eluded to) is much more in the hands of the very human resources L&D seeks supports. Since
change is happening faster than ever before, L&D must adapt.
Those workers, that in 1986 were capable of knowing 75% of what they needed to know
to do their jobs are now barely able to keep 10% in their head (Meister & Willyerd, 2010). The
evolution of knowledge change is now estimated, in some industries, to double every 2 years, or
less (Meister & Willyerd, 2010). So, workers are being asked to become more efficient in the
performance of their jobs, with less ability to know everything they need to know, and yet
contribute in more ways to bottom line. Therefore, organizations and people, in order to remain
competitive, have to become increasingly interdependent with each other and technology in ways
that once seemed like structure and convenience, but are now a necessity.
Not only are workers asked to do more with less as organizations pursue this marketplace
competition, but the workplace in general has changed. For the first time in history,
organizations also have 5 generation groups that striate across one of the largest and most diverse
learning backgrounds ever seen (Meister & Willyerd, 2010). This generational segmentation is
more than accommodating population groups from 18 to over 70 years of age, but adapting to the
vast differences in how each individual learns, accesses, and retains knowledge in order to
perform their daily tasks. For example, those in their 70’s grew up with no access to computers,
while someone in their 20’s doesn’t even know what it’s like to not have access to a computer.
7. 7
To address these often complex and unique learning needs, maintain efficiency and provide
sustainable growth, L&D is forced to look for alternatives from the traditionally models of
support where one-size-fits-all: It is simply too expensive and un-scalable to approach learning
with this the same model.
The requirements for knowledge, the amount of change in knowledge, the speed of
change and the diversity of an evolving workplace are all concerns enough on their own, but
where knowledge is shared and obtained is changing too. Since these rapid changes workers
have been forced to adapt their learning quicker than L&D. Some trends indicate that 79% of
learning today comes from outside traditional L&D (CEB, 2015). Jeanne Meister speaks of
“social learning” (Loc. 2563, 2010) as the next evolution of how and where these knowledge
workers are accessing, retrieving and even adding to this body of knowledge. And, in a recent
study from CEB, it was learned that 68% of employees are getting their information to perform
on their job from co-workers (social learning) which is supporting an upward trend of 17%
growth in just 2 years (2015).
The methods of how this evolving learning occurs are also changing. Terms like self-
direct learning and on-demand learning (think YouTube) are taking front stage as primary
methods of how knowledge is obtained (Brandon, 2016). In addition, Saks & Hacuun argue that
adaptive learning through social contextualization is the new norm, where they report 70% of
knowledge required is learned informally (2008). Together with informal learning on the rise and
57% of employees expecting learning to be just-in-time (CEB, 2015) the more traditional how of
a formal learning event approach (whether online or in the classroom) may, or should be, on the
way out. A recent study conducted by the Corporate Executive Board (CEB) found that
employees indicate they only apply ½ of what they learn from a formal learning event; therefore,
8. 8
only 21% even expect their learning (what they need to know and when they need to know it) to
occur in a formal setting (2015). So, to recap, 21% don’t expect their learning to occur in a
formal event (the traditional approach for L&D), and when they do attend a formal event they
apply only ½ of what they learn. Perhaps these are the reasons why 79% of workers seek their
knowledge outside of L&D (mentioned above). This should be a warning shot over the bow of
L&D – what you’ve been doing, it’s just not working!
The knowledge worker is also a mobile worker (Meister & Willyerd, 2010). Mobile
devices mean the methods of distribution and location have to be addressed, including where
learning is available (in the cloud or on my mobile device). Many workers have already
addressed work life balance through integration rather than separation (Morgan, 2016). L&D
specifically must become more integrated in their approach in order to increasingly impact
competitive advantage in the marketplace (Appleby & Mavin, 2000). Jacob Morgan (2016)
released his assessment of coming trends in HR for 2016 and beyond and number 1 overall is the
employee “experience” (p. 2). It is the integration of all environments that impact the employee
performance and L&D has an opportunity to take front seat and make a difference.
Terms like ecosystems now relate specifically to an organizations life-blood, not simply a
term used to describe nature. A learning ecosystem; a knowledge ecosystem; a human
ecosystem; and an analytics ecosystem are increasingly a requirement, and must be
interdependent to maintain performance and, to achieve new levels of competitive advantage in
the world of business. The knowledge worker now wants access to those ecosystems when it
works for them, defined mostly by performance expectations. Remember, many organizations
today exist in multiple time zones and finding mutually agreed upon times to hold a learning
9. 9
event is itself a nightmare. Combined with what we have learned already the age of the learning
event is inefficient as well as ineffective.
Finally, L&D measures of success also need to shift and leadership is quite aware; 96%
of CLOs believe L&D should measure impact on business, but fewer than 8% are actually doing
it (CLO, 2009). The historical classroom reports indicating some level of general pleasure or
happiness with the content, instructor, and feelings that “I will apply this back on the job” is not
good enough. The business unit needs a partner and the organization needs better alignment with
organizational measures; not just a service provider. How does L&D contribute to the bottom
line? What is the impact to the business performance? With access to data like never before,
L&D must get closer to IT (Morgan, 2016). The organization is asking, soon they will be
demanding: move from descriptive analytics to prescriptive analytics and share with the business
leading indicators and solutions to support business outcomes!
A Tiered Solution
Models for service providers within large organizations have shown to be nearly as
diverse as the functions themselves; accounting, human resources, supply chain, etc. Current
L&D functional models still seem to support a one-size-fits-all approach across all supported
business sectors. This study found no studies or examples where L&D was structured in a tier
solution but, there are a few examples in other service sectors. For example, in supply chain, one
study introduced a tiered model to solve for similar business problems; one-size-fits-all was
found unsustainable nor able to deliver efficiencies across supported businesses (Wright, 2006).
This tier model focused on a high-medium-low business segmentation which has some
applicability with L&D. A couple key critical findings were; impact on productivity; and make
sure promises are managed at all tier levels (Wright, 2006).
10. 10
It’s not just the approach to service, but also the respective focus that a tiered approach
can deliver. For example, studies have shown that an increased engagement in a training (event)
doesn’t not necessarily increase productivity (CEB, 2015). The previous logic came from
education circles where increases in participation (or engagement) has been shown to improve
scores in the class. CEB’s study indicates the engagement=higher test scores model in education
does not extrapolate to engagement=higher productivity on the job in the workplace. If L&D has
a responsibility to the business objectives and the larger corporate performance, then it must
address productivity and impact on business, not engagement in an event.
In that same empirical study, CEB learned that, in many organizations, associates were
spending 39% of their time in learning (2015). Perhaps this is a byproduct of remaining focused
on developing learning events to address performance problems without consideration of just-in-
time and/or social learning changes. Their supporting research indicated that a tipping point in
time spent in learning to productivity should really be about 28% (CEB, 2015). This would
indicate there is a waste of nearly 11%, which could equate to nearly $135M lost in productivity
for a 25,000+ organization (CEB, 2015). If learning participation/engagement doesn’t improve
performance and workers are spending too much time in learning, one can see where L&D must
really re-think what really is their impact on the business.
In another study by CEB (2014), it was discovered that less than 10% of organizations
have, what could be termed, a ‘productive learning culture’. This study indicated a potential
cause is the lack of understanding in levels of learning maturity. Perhaps, like the introduction of
a new piece of technology, say an iPad: Some will pick it up and know how to effectively use it
right away; Some may simply treat it like a paper weight – the perfect size to hold down their
printed papers; While others won’t know where to begin to effectively use this new piece of
11. 11
technology and perhaps use it as a glorified typewriter. This study indicates a need, not only to
understand a workforce’s varying levels of learning maturity, but also address those levels in
very different ways. Following the analogy of the iPad deployment, it would be extremely
inefficient and ineffective to have everyone go through the same level of training.
The tiered solution takes all the research and the identified gaps and provides a new
structure to support the changes identified. Underlying this tiered model should be a knowledge
ecosystem the entire organization can tap into. Access and training on use of this ecosystem
becomes foundational at all tier levels.
In the 2015 study done by CEB it was learned that inefficiencies are most often a result
of disproportionate support. The tier model approach for L&D could solve for that by aligning
resources appropriate to the level of learning maturity. Bersin provided a great study on learning
maturity and an example of level definitions with 4 varying levels derived from over 18 months
of research and 400 organizations (see Table 1) (2012).
Table 1
Level 1: Incidental Training On-the-job Training; some support
Level 2: Training Excellence The Corporate University
Level 3: Performance Improvement Continuous learning; alignment to role; performance driven;
career paths.
Level 4: Organizational Capability Organizational & Individual capabilities for success; Coaching;
Knowledge Sharing; Delivered locally, but available globally
Those levels can be used to outline a level of support needed with the additional benefit of
outlining a success measurement to the board of directors: How much has the needle moved on
learning maturity at our corporation? In another study, CEB, took a look at Standard Bank where
5 stages of maturity were identified (see Table 2) (2014).

To differentiate between tiers an objective analysis of the various learning maturities
across the business segments should be performed. These two models of learning maturity
provide a framework from which L&D can draw from to objectively define the various levels of
maturity and thus, identify the tier levels and begins to define specific levels of service. In
addition, redefine success measures to specifically tie to both, movement on a maturity index, as
well as ability to meet business objectives - no matter what tier.
Recommendations
This research began from the perspective that, if one desires to achieve new horizons one
cannot continue to do what is currently being done. Einstein is often quoted as having said that
the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again and expect
different results. L&D can’t continue to approach learning from the same approach – it's just
insane. As evidenced by the changing landscape of both the worker and the organization,
learning itself, and the subsequent knowledge share, must adapt and change or L&D may find
they have become extinct in the process.
However, L&D can choose to make a positive come back with the awareness laid out in
this research. It is recommended that L&D take a tiered approach to supporting their business
segments and define those segments by an objective analysis of the variances in learning
maturity. The measure of success for L&D must then shift to alignment with impacts on business
13. 13
performance as well as progressive movement along levels of maturity. One direct impact to the
businesses being supported by L&D is an acute awareness of the distinct differences in approach
to a learning need based upon learning maturity. But also, the business must also recognize that
L&D is a true partner on their journey to competitive advantage and performance in the
marketplace.
Research indicates that there are 2 immediate advantages to adopting a tier model
approach for L&D: 1) Immediate (bottom line) saving by strategically targeting a reduction of
“learning hours” spent (from 39% to 28%) by associates (taking back some of the estimated
$135M in lost productivity) and; 2) Increased impact on business results by strategically
targeting business objectives and directing learning at the level of learning maturity. Enhanced
performance and efficiency within L&D is really a 3rd advantage as L&D becomes better aligned
to both their partner’s objectives as well as clear understanding of their level of learning
maturity. In the end, the organization as a whole can expect to retain current competitive
advantage and begin to chart a course to expanding their competitive advantage as the
organization increases their overall learning maturity. One size doesn’t fit all and years ago I
think Burger King got it right; “Have it Your Way!”
It seems just yesterday I went to the doctor because I was sick and needed to get better;
today I go to the doctor to learn how I can keep from being sick in the future. L&D has an
opportunity to shift from doing what they have always done to becoming what they need to be.
There is a choice; there is a challenge; there are gaps; but, there are solutions. It has been said,
“The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty”
(Proverbs 22:3).
