60-year careers, the decreasing half life of skills, and digital disruption have many organizations rethinking, and maybe even struggling with how they develop their employees.
“Fifty-six percent of current workforce skill sets do not match the changes in their company’s strategy, goals, markets, or business models.” — ATD, Bridging the Skills Gap, 2015
Finding success in this turbulent time takes new strategies, skillsets and modernized tools, which makes it an important, yet perfect time for corporate learning leadership to take stock of their learning investments.
Creating the right ecosystem will be the difference between those who make it through the age of disruption and those who don’t.

LMS usage activity grew 70% in Q1 vs prior year – averaging once a month per employee, driven largely by stiffer regulations and new contractor and vendor compliance requirements. During that period, use of off-the-shelf content for voluntary professional and career development represented less than 1% of all learning activity; their learning culture was literally 99% operationally and compliance driven.
In Q1, use of Degreed’s catalog of open learning resources drove 80% of the total increase in employees’ voluntary learning activity, and log-ins to Degreed accounted for around 7% of total learning activity. What that tells us (and the client) is that we’re not cannibalizing the LMS. We're expanding the pie, enabling and channeling behavior that was happening outside the LMS anyway.
