How to Build a Strong L&D Function

New research shows that companies with high-impact learning organizations (HILOs) generated, on average, three times higher profit growth in 2008-2011 than their peers.

“Our research found three key factors that predict success for a learning organization,” says David Mallon, vice president, Research, for Bersin & Associates: “Using a variety of sophisticated learning measurement and evaluation techniques; developing a modern and efficient strategy to create and use learning content; and focusing heavily on the organizational programs to build a ‘culture of learning’ throughout the organization. Our tools and research show companies precisely how to build these capabilities and implement a business-driven L&D function.”

To help organizations achieve similar results, Bersin & Associates also unveiled its first-ever HILO Maturity Model, which lets Bersin & Associates members assess their organizations’ learning and development function and provides a proven roadmap to improve performance and impact.
