What is learning and development?

• Learning and development encompasses employee skills (interpersonal and communication), the development of management (including line managers) and leadership skills, and coaching
• Recent successes have turned attention to developing a learning and development culture; aligning learning and development with organisational strategy; and placing greater emphasis on identifying (training needs analysis) and measuring training effectiveness (evaluation)
• Advances in learning come from the fields of psychology, sociology, neuroscience, computing and statistics to achieve new insights into organisational performance

How does learning and development work?

Typically there are 4 key stages involved in the learning process:

In addition, training programme length is based on a number of factors:

• Whether the learning is knowledge, skill or behavioural
• Size of the learning shift (e.g. new knowledge or reinforcing/refining a skill)
• Delegates’ learning styles
• Whether the organisation culturally supports e-learning
• Pre learning and post learning activities
• Budget, location, timing and business drivers also have an impact
