The 70:20:10 framework is a learning and development model that explains the relationship between experiential, social, and formal types of learning. According to research by the Center for Creative Leadership, 70% of learning comes from job experiences, 20% comes from relationships, and 10% comes from formal training. The model emphasizes that effective professional development comes from learning, not just training. It encourages organizations to provide experiences like new responsibilities, involvement in projects and decisions, and mentorship relationships to facilitate on-the-job learning.
