Explain about Learning Landscape
Definition: Benchmarking is the process of comparing key performance indicators for one organisation with the indicators of others who are considered to represent the industry standard or best practice for that field.
Since 2013 the Towards Maturity benchmark has concentrated on identifying the business impact of learning innovation and has uncovered 6 workstreams of behaviour that consistently influence results. This is tracked through the Towards Maturity Index. Those in the top 10% of the index, the Top Deck, are delivering more organisational agility and individual performance.
What are they doing differently?
Phase 1 was the distribution of over 500 Personalised benchmarks- x Key Performance Indicators, 21 Business indicators
For the past 10 years the Towards Maturity Study has concentrated on identifying the business impact of learning innovation and has uncovered 6 workstreams of behaviour that are consistently

The Towards Maturity Benchmark programme deconstructs and investigates the different behaviours within the 70:20:10 model to understand the extent to which different aspects of this model are being applied by L&D professionals in today's workplace.
Formal learning index
In the Formal Index we consider the extent to which formal learning interventions are aligned to business need, user focused, blended/flexible, learners are recognised, that programmes remain relevant to work need - aspects of the '10'
Calculated on the way that organisations have answered the following questions
We use defined performance support practices to support learning transfer after formal training
We analyse the business problem before recommending a solution
We apply storytelling techniques in our instructional design
We involve users in the design of the most appropriate learning approach
We blend our use of several different learning technologies (from social media for collaboration to content delivery)
We train classroom trainers to use technology to transfer learning to the workplace
We remove content that is no longer relevant
We map learning interventions to our competency framework
Where appropriate we provide micro-content (i.e. under 10 minutes)
We pull key stakeholders together into a steering group to support programme design and implementation
We apply techniques such as spaced learning to aid retention and application of learning
Social Learning Index
In the Social Index we consider the extent to which social learning is supported: is collaboration encouraged, are L&D aware of how staff are already collaborating, the culture of accepting innovation and new ideas - aspects of the '20'.
We encourage learners to share experiences and solve problems using online social media tools
We actively encourage learners to collaborate in building knowledge resources, using tools such as wikis, forums, podcasts and videos
Staff know how to work together to productively connect and share knowledge
Our learners learn more from each other than from course content
We encourage peer-to-peer feedback about the impact of learning
We are aware of how our learners are using social media (outside of L&D) to share ideas
Managers encourage and make time for social and informal learning
We influence our organisation’s social media policy
We help people locate in-house experts when they need them
Coaching and mentoring are an important part of our work culture
Our organisation welcomes innovation and contributions from our workers
Workflow index:
In the Workflow Index we consider the extent to which staff are being encouraged to learn from their experience, to reflect on their experience, the way that their performance in the workplace is actively supported, if access to resources has been simplified and if managers are equipped to encourage ongoing learning... - aspects of the '70'.
Our managers recognise the value of on-the-job learning
Staff have access to job aids online or via mobile devices
Staff in our organisation understand how to identify the right information appropriate for their job
Individuals are encouraged to organise their own personal learning strategies
We use available support systems to promote self-reliance, not a culture of dependency
We have content curation strategies in place to help staff make sense of the resources available to them
We encourage learners to keep reflective learning logs
Our organisation encourages (and provides time for) reflection
Staff are actively encouraged to take on new work experiences as an opportunity to learn
Our staff are encouraged to learn from their mistakes
Managers provide active support in the application of learning in the workflow
Our organisation expects managers to take responsibility for developing the skills of their staff
We equip line managers with resources so their teams get the most out of technology enabled learning
Formal Index: example behaviours
84% train trainers to use technology to extend learning beyond the classroom (25% average)
73% agreed, “Where appropriate we provide micro-content” (i.e. under 10 minutes) (27%)
Workflow Index:
45% agreed, “We encourage learners to keep reflective learning logs (16%)
84% agreed, “Staff in our organisation understand how to identify the right information appropriate for their job (28%)
Social Index:
51% agreed, “We actively encourage learners to collaborate in building knowledge resources, using tools such as wikis, forums, podcasts and videos (12%)
84% help people to locate in house experts when they need them (38%)
