T-Bite: Depressing Survey of L&D

t_bites1 Donald Clark has an interesting finding in his blog. So I thought I of sharing that bit of information via T-Bite.

So here is the excerpt from Donald Clark’s blog post:

It’s has been claimed by the likes of Donald Taylor and Jay Cross, that training must transform itself or risk being ignored. And there is a feeling in the training world that all is not well, and that the deep, dark secret is that training is regarded by many as second-rate, full of odd people delivering oddball stuff using outdated methods.

For the first time I’ve seen evidence that this may be true. So I draw your attention to this independent survey of decision makers at 100 of the UKs top 500 companies (by turnover):

  • 70% see inadequate staff skills as barrier to growth
  • 40% see risk of employee skills risk being obsolete
  • 55% claim L&D failing to deliver necessary training
  • 46% doubt L&D can deliver
  • Less than 18% agree that L&D aligned with business
