Global benchmark provides L&D with the tools to transform
The Towards Maturity Benchmark™ gives L&D leaders a opportunity to review their strategy and personally identify the tactics they need to unlock potential in their organisation.
Top of learning professionals’ wish-lists were tactics they can use to make an impact on agility, efficiency and performance, according to Towards Maturity’s 2016 Learner Benchmark Report, Unlocking Potential. By participating in the Towards Maturity Benchmark which opens today, learning professionals will receive a personalised report that signposts where and how they can improve on all the outcomes of an effective L&D strategy. This is their moment to take control.
Free to use and taking around 60 minutes to complete, the Towards Maturity Benchmark allows learning professionals to confidentially review their strategy, compare their approach with top performing organisations and establish priorities. Consolidating the experiences of more than 5,500 people, each participant receives a unique, Personalised Benchmark Report to target improved performance.
The Towards Maturity Benchmark has been championing the development of the L&D industry since 2003. Scoring on a total of 19 performance improvement benchmarks it includes insights to help you improve business alignment, increase learner engagement and make informed decisions about new models of learning, like 70:20:10.
Laura Overton, Founder and CEO of Towards Maturity commented:
“In today’s fast-paced and technological world L&D leaders are hungry for change but are overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
“The Towards Maturity Benchmark provides direction tailored to each individual. We’re signposting where organisations need to focus and delivering the tools and tactics they need to unlock potential with a totally unique report. Yes, an hour is a long time, but the rewards are worth it.
This year our Benchmark, freely available to all people professionals around the world, has an even greater global focus thanks to the support of our Ambassadors.”
Considered one of the most comprehensive, global and independent reviews of how organisational maturity provides the keys to success to those looking to build an agile learning organisation. The Benchmark study is aimed at any learning and development professionals responsible for implementing innovative learning and performance solutions in their workplace and organisations from across the private, public and not-for-profit are all welcome to take part.

Teresa Rose, E.ON adds:
“Benchmarking is an invaluable process which allows us to hold a mirror up to our L&D strategy. Being able to compare with so many peers gives clarity on how mature we are as a learning organisation, to see the progress we have made and the gaps still needing to be closed.”
