In the Spring of 2017, Deloitte published their annual Human Capital Trends survey. In it, they reported that:

    • Skills development is the #2 topic on the minds of CEOs and HR leaders
    • 83% of organizations rate this topic as  important
    • 54% of organizations rate this topic as urgent

In contrast to this need, however, many organizations report having challenges with obtaining all of the technology training that their IT teams and technical professionals require. Some of the primary inhibitors to sufficient training, include the fast pace of changes in technology, along with the lack of ability for organizations to tolerate time out of office.

In addition, the workforce demographic has changed; millennials and digital natives learn differently and with different motivation than other generations. They value flexibility, collaboration and community. They expect learning to deliver high quality, engaging experiences, and to utilize technology and social platforms as part of the experience.

So what is needed? A combination of new blended with traditional. New content which is modular and can be served on-demand, at the point of need for learning alongside traditional learning methods. Digital communities of learners who can interact with each other and collaborate to accelerate and reinforce the learning experiences. Digital badging credentials which enable professionals with earned skills, to show their capabilities and find each other online for assistance and coaching.
