The new Towards Maturity 2011 Benchmark Study

“The fundamental question that has fuelled Towards Maturity research with over 1800 respondents over the last 8 years is: What are successful organisations doing to deliver business results with learning technologies and how can we learn from them?”

The Towards Maturity 2011 Benchmark Study again publishes plenty of figures and numbers about the current state and future trends of learning and development tools in all kind of organisations.

Built on the results of preview surveys, the 2011 Towards Maturity Benchmark can be seen as an in-depth long-term study and shows that learning and development tools are still of vital importance:
For example, 69% of organisations plan to improve talent management in the future.

Furthermore, e-learning is not only seen as a tool to develop new skills: 77% of respondents see learning technologies as a solution that helps them to react faster to changes in the business.

These are the top 10 drivers for the use of e-learning:

1. Increase access to learning
2. Increase flexibility
3. Improve quality
4. Reduce training costs
5. Extend reach of training
6. Achieve greater consistency
7. Improve induction
8. Increase sharing of good practice
9. Reduce time away from job
10. Help implement new processes/products
