Global organizations are increasingly finding traditional learning departments to be inefficient and expensive, with only about one-third of training costs going towards actual learning. As a result, organizations have adopted eLearning and a more networked approach to learning and development that allows learners to learn at their own pace. Key trends include a focus on collaboration both within and between organizations, catering learning to different generations, developing local talent globally, emphasizing critical thinking over fast learning, building relationships over transactions, integrating diverse technologies, mentoring through interaction, tailoring learning to individuals, and making anything possible through learning anytime and anywhere.

4. Globally oranisations are increasingly finding out that,
traditional learning departments are often inefficient and
expensive.
Research shows that only about one third of the total
training spent goes into actual learning delivery, the rest is
often spent on administrative and other indirect costs.
Initially organisations adopted web based learning because
of its cost effectiveness & efficiency. However over time
these companies realized that eLearning is not only more
efficient, it make learning outcome more effective.
Learners can now complete the training at their own time,
pace & place.

5. Global Trends
In L&D

6. Outward collaboration:
In today’s world organizations
succeed through collaboration.
This calls for a networked
approach.
L&D professionals face a
challenge of developing a new
generation of leaders to work in a
collaborative manner.

7. Multi-generational learning:
Development programs are now
aimed at a diverse set of population
varying from graduates, middle
managers to executives.
By bringing together participants
from all levels and generations,
organizations are able to create
more value out of their programs
than ever.

8. Global market, local talent:
All global organizations are essentially
polycentric having all their functions,
including L&D, distributed to gain
advantage from all available
efficiencies and resources.

9. Slow Learning:
Today clients demand critical thinking,
review and evaluation to be part of the
solution provided to them rather than
providing a mere fast service.
The environment favors learning from
situations, engaging in real-time
experiences and thus truly benefit
from learning.

10. Creating Relationships:
Clients want to build relationships
with organizations rather than having
a mere transaction. Companies
encourage people to experiment, fail,
improve and succeed in their
endeavors.

11. Integrating Technology:
Companies are investing in
technology-oriented methods
influenced by the easy and
interactive learning environment
available.
L&D professionals seek to
improve their integration of a
diverse set of learning
technologies available.

12. Leaning From Others:
Mentoring is now based on the
70:20:10 learning model according to
which the ‘20’ proportion of learning
comes by interacting with others. This
includes activities such as feedback,
coaching and mentoring.

13. Learning Mapping:
Companies today are focused on
delivering solutions right the first time
which helps in saving time and money.
This is achieved by using learning
mapping process which helps in
establishing a logical thread with clear
objectives.

14. Getting Personal:
Learning programs are now tailored
according to individual preferences and
needs rather than following a one-size-
fits-all approach.
