Recommendation

Towards Maturity is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping companies make the most of learning technologies. In this report, which is based on research involving more than 600 learning professionals, the company’s founder and CEO Laura Overton and its head of research Genny Dixon outline the evolving role of learning and development (L&D) professionals. More importantly, they offer abundant practical tips to help L&D professionals align their learning activities with business goals, encourage self-directed learning and continue to develop their own skills. getAbstract believes this report is a must-read for everyone in the learning department.

Summary

The IT and Telecoms companies in Towards Maturity study on learning included large and small businesses, most of them multinationals that have used learning technologies for six years or less.  Digital learning in most of these places includes “live online learning delivery,” “virtual meetings,” video and “internal information services.” L&D leaders seek to use technology and new methods in a way that increases skills competency in the ITT sector quickly.

Cultural differences and management gatekeepers pose the greatest barriers...
