Recommendation

The IT and Telecoms (ITT) sector has led the use of new learning technology by employing social media, communities of practice and virtual learning. Studies show that these learning pioneers benefited in terms of revenue and adaptability. In this report, Towards Maturity CEO Laura Overton and its head of research Genny Dixon provide well-documented insights about the business benefits of a modern learning strategy and outline concrete steps that ITT professionals can take to maximize the efficiency, flexibility and profitability of a company. Although many of the observations apply to other business sectors as well, getAbstract recommends this report especially to learning and development leaders in the ITT industry.

Take-Aways

  • In the IT and Telecoms (ITT) sector, changes happen more quickly than elsewhere.
  • The learning and development (L&D) function in ITT businesses must facilitate fast and flexible learning.
  • According to a study, many L&D professionals claim that the lack of a learning culture and insufficient management support prevent them from advancing the learning function.
