United Kingdom
Insightful program measurement, tracking and reporting
• Well structured trainer/facilitator feedback on workshop participants.
• “Pulse Checks” direct to graduates, guiding subsequent training.
• Intelligent assessment design that measures understanding.
• Individual and cohort data to increase accountability to the greater business.
• Technology measuring engagement as well as results.

Singapore
Standardisation of development for geographically dispersed graduates
• Standard objectives ≠ standard approaches.
• Considerations: culture, business unit, location, insights from initial testing.
• Managing small graduate populations in some regions.
• Increased cross-location communication and sense of connection.
• Mixing shared and focused experiences in formal training scenarios.

China
Graduate Supervisor up-skilling, engagement and accountability
• No sense in graduates entering an environment that is not aligned.
• The “70%” largely made possible by supervisors and managers.
• Utilisation of intelligent tools such as Cultural Dimensions
• Tying KPI’s to graduate results and development.
• Informing and consulting with managers before the program starts.

South Africa
Re-imagining of the 70:20:10 Model
• Swinging the development pendulum back towards on-the-job development.
• Increasing the effectiveness, not just the focus, of on-the-job learning.
• Using the “10%” to solidify learning from the “70%” + “20%”.
• Supported by relevant resources over longer periods.
• Questioning the exact ratio — 60:30:10?
