Meeting L&D's new need for 'speed to impact'

Today’s fast-paced, competitive marketplaces generate a relentless demand for innovation. As Bill Gates said: “Success today requires the agility and drive to constantly rethink, reinvigorate, react and reinvent.” Employees at all levels must be empowered to respond quickly to meet customer needs and anticipate changing circumstances and new market opportunities. This creates a fascinating new challenge for L&D, in which the ‘speed to impact’ of your learning material becomes the most important measure of success.

 Recent research by Fosway Group, the HR and learning analyst, highlights that employers are striving to increase learner engagement and create personalised learning experiences, in shorter learning bites, using next-generation searchable content that works on all devices and screen formats. The ‘need for speed’ has created an increased focus on collaborative authoring, rapid prototyping and faster roll-outs of learning.
