Learning’ covers a much wider range of activities than training. Training describes a structured set of events that when designed and assembled carefully can provide an effective way to help people accelerate learning (learning = behaviour change). The way they support learning and development will be particular to them.

One of the challenges about how well the money is being spent is that the ‘holy grail’ for many training and learning departments - identifying the financial value of the investment in training and other structured learning and development activity (the ROI) – is rarely achieved and, many would argue, is a flawed measure anyway.

The characteristics that helped us reach our dominant position on planet earth are intimately linked with our search for understanding and our social nature. Once we learn a sound, if it's repeated to us often enough, we form a memory of it, which is activated when we hear the sound again," he explained. this is the ‘10’ part) 2.

Despite, or possibly because of, his own irregular early education he focused on learning as an important activity in life. The most widely used measures for ‘learning’ are based on activity, not on outcomes. The activity measures determine input, not output. Activity measurement does have some limited use.

I’d used the phrase ‘learning delivery’ when describing computer-supported collaborative learning ( CSCL ) approaches. What I’d meant by ‘learning delivery’ was ‘providing the resources and environments that help learning and, by inference, improved performance, to occur’. Learning is a highly contextual activity.

Courses may help with the basics, or to refresh our knowledge, but courses alone won’t deliver high performance. If we put all our effort and resource into designing, developing and delivering courses we may be helping people, but we’re only supporting one aspect of organisational learning and performance improvement.

70:20:10 is a reference model or framework that helps organisations extend their focus on learning and development beyond the classroom and course-based eLearning to build more resilient workforces and create cultures of continuous learning. For instance coaching, mentoring and courses work best when they support on-the-job development [2].

Tom is a rocket scientist and helps other helps rocket scientists learn their stuff. That’s the key to the 70:20:10 model, and there’s an increasing body of data in support of this. They also help stress that learning is highly context dependent. In other words, they’re rocket scientists.

The first chapter of ‘ 70:20:10 towards 100% performance’ (the recent book by Arets, Jennings & Heijnen) is titled ‘the training bubble’. It takes a quick look at the history, the lure, and some of the problems that have been brought about by thinking only in the formal training paradigm rather than in the performance paradigm.

It struck me that Jane’s model closely aligned with others I’ve been using to help explain the increase in realised value brought about by the use of experiential, social and workplace learning. They have not made the move to Stage 3 (Performance Support) yet. The cycle tends to have a frequency of about 5-8 years.

Some L&D professionals will counter with the challenge ‘how will you know that you have been given the right information and have been helped to learn the right things?’. If I find it helps me get my work done better, faster or smarter then I’m more likely to ask again, and a competence trust relationship builds.

The question is usually ‘what can I do to ensure that the CEO or Director views L&D as a strategic business tool and not another also-ran support function’. Actively Enrol Managers Even outside the overall governance of L&D, managers in the line of business need to be L&D’s best friends. It’s a good question to ask.

Yet studies have shown that only a small % of this spend actually results in improved performance in the workplace – the Baldwin, Ford & Weissbein studies estimate that not more than 10% of spend transfers to the job. An additional 46% of time is spent in the overall management/planning of L&D activities.

Despite the book’s title (or maybe that’s the point of it) Clark’s focus is not so much on learning and development as on performance. Learning as simply a means to improve performance. Quinn suggests that a focus on performance augmentation should be at the core of all learning and development activity.

Very few of us would argue with the proposition that a lot of organisational learning and development activity is sub-optimal to the extent that it provides little value to participants and their organisations. Efficiency can be improved in almost every case by changing focus from ‘learning’ to ‘performance’.

It is still focused, however, on learning outcomes (rather than performance outcomes) and is still firmly based around the concepts of structured learning-focused processes to achieve ‘learning outcomes’. We intentionally add learning-focused activities into the workflow. Blended learning almost always falls into the ‘adding’ category.

Although this activity is a necessary and sometimes important one (even if only to keep the CEO and Chairman out of the courts and prison) it has little to do with real learning. Compliance training is primarily about recording activity and gathering data that can be provided to regulatory or professional bodies or kept for a rainy day.

It reminds me of the remarkable insight of the author Aldous Huxley when he said “I see the best, but it’s the worse that I pursue” The evidence has been around for a long time that formal training on detailed task and process-based activities in advance of the need to carry out the task or use the process is essentially useless.
