The document summarizes key findings from the Towards Maturity Index Report published in January 2018. The report is based on data from over 6,500 L&D leaders, 40,000 learners gathered since 2003 regarding the goals, outcomes, and challenges L&D departments face. It finds that those in the top 10% are willing to change and take risks, and that those in early maturity stages focus more on efficiency than quality and should prioritize business goals over delivery. The transformation curve shows that organizations should continue progressing and not rest on past successes.
