Learning to change report <\/strong><\/a>— from Learning Conversations by Mark Berthelemy<\/p>\n

“We’ve just published a research report<\/a>, based on the opinions of senior decision makers among the UK\u2019s largest 500 firms. Here are some of the findings.”<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • The majority (70%) of business leaders fear that inadequate staff skills are the greatest threat to their ability to capitalise on the recovery.<\/li>\n
  • More than two thirds of business leaders admit that their under-trained workforce is struggling to cope with expanded job remits following waves of job cuts during recession.<\/li>\n
  • … as the economy moves out of the downturn, two fifths (40%) of leaders estimate that at least half of employee skills risk becoming obsolete.<\/li>\n
  • Over a third of leaders (36%) lack confidence that their employees have the skills required to deliver the firm\u2019s upturn strategy, with close to half (46%) casting doubt on their L&D department\u2019s ability to provide these learning services.<\/li>\n
  • Over half (55%) claim that their firm is failing to deliver the necessary training for recovery.<\/li>\n
  • Around half fear for their company\u2019s ability to respond to surges in demand (51%), retrain and redeploy people where required (47%) and identify where current skills are becoming obsolete (49%).<\/li>\n
  • More than two thirds (67%) of business leaders are concerned their employees are struggling to cope with expanded remits following job cuts.<\/li>\n
  • More than half (52%) describe their L&D function as slow to respond to the changing requirements of their business during economic turbulence.<\/li>\n
  • As strategic objectives have evolved, close to half (46%) of senior managers report no significant change in the training delivery to their workforce. Going forward, almost as many (43%) expect no significant change to L&D delivery over the next 2-3 years.<\/li>\n
  • The vast majority (82%) of leaders lack confidence that their firm\u2019s L&D strategy and delivery are aligned to the company\u2019s operational strategy.<\/li>\n
  • Half (50%) believe that their L&D function is stuck in a \u2018business as usual\u2019 mindset.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Another interesting quote here:<\/p>\n

    “Perhaps L&D needs to rebrand – towards performance consulting… Often performance problems are more around culture, systems, processes and communication. Solve those, and you won’t need to provide training in a lot of cases.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
