What will you find in the Report?
Over 2200 organisations have taken part in the Towards Maturity Benchmark since it started in 2003 and in our this year’s report – Bridging the Gap – Integrating learning and work, we have looked at:
- The bottom line benefits – unmissible evidence to help build your business case
- Top Trends – separating the hype from reality
- 7 missed L&D opportunities
- Learning from the top performers.
This year we were delighted that Richard Beaven, Customer Services Director, General Insurance at Lloyds Banking Group agreed to write the Forward to the Report. This is what he said:
‘As business leaders, we have to let go of our embedded beliefs that classroom is the most effective means of delivering skills. Now, more than ever, we need to be able to access our learning quickly in digestible bite sized chunks and find support as and when we need it. The 2012 Towards Maturity Benchmark provides hard evidence that this type of approach can really deliver….Use the study to help you to stay on top of your game through benchmarking with others.‘
A tremendous industry collaboration – This year’s benchmark has already been shaped by the input of previous participants and thoroughly reviewed by industry experts including Jane Hart, Charles Jennings, Nigel Paine, Donald H Taylor, John McGurk and many others. As a result it is sharper and more focused than ever before.

About the Benchmark
The Towards Maturity Benchmark Study is an internationally recognised longitudinal study on the effective implementation of learning innovation based on the input of 5,800+ participants and 41,000 learners gathered since 2003. Towards Maturity continuously surveys and studies how people learn at work and the impact this has on organisational performance. By turning data into insights and insights into action, this research is used to help L&D leaders assess and improve the appropriateness, effectiveness and efficiency of their learning provision.

Digital – Does evidence-based L&D matter?
Today, over 98% of organisations are on a mission to transform the impact of their learning strategy and the majority of L&D leaders are focusing on accelerating digital because they believe it holds the key to help more people increase their performance.
Case Study: Best Learning Technologies Project 2018 (UK commercial Sector)
In 2018, 93% of learning practitioners wanted to increase employee engagement with learning, but only 27% were successful. With less than a third meeting this goal, it is important to explore how an exemplar organisation turned their learning strategy on its head to achieve just that.

In Focus: How to Build and Change Habits in the Workplace
The ability to change behaviour through habit creation is crucial to becoming a top performing organisation, particularly as learners have the skills to build new capabilities quickly and ‘unbuild’ old behaviours that are no longer relevant. But how do you actually create habits in the workplace?
