Is your learning organization all that you want it to be?
Chief Learning Officer, Training Department Manager, Learning Consultant, Program Manager.....you are responsible for many learning programs....and possibly an entire organization that supports your company's learning objectives. How do you know if your learning programs are where your company needs them to be? Our Infosys learning team uses a learning maturity model that can assess your organization's current learning maturity level, help you decide where you want to be in the future, and create a roadmap to help you get there.
So what is a Learning Maturity Model (LMM)? Our LMM is a framework that describes the learning and development organization at four levels of maturity: Lagging, Tenable, Progressive and World Class. We analyze 12 best practice attributes that focus on three significant learning questions:
1.) Is your learning organization aligned with your business requirements?
2.) Are you builiding the employee competencies required to run your business?
3.) Are you running learning as a business?
You might want to reflect on these questions and think about how well your (or your client's) learning organization is doing in these areas. Over the next few weeks I'll talk more about each question, and how you can help your company make improvements in these areas.
Comments
Thank you for the thoughtful information.
If I may, I'd like to ask you to what extent, the concept of sustainability is incorporated into the learning services Infosys offers. I wonder if there are any cases where Infosys has helped clients address sustainability issues (e.g. green management etc.)
I would appreciate it if you would provide any thoughts on this.
Thank you so much for your time and attention.
best,
Sunyoung

Thanks for your question Sunyoung! Sustainability and "green managemengt" is addressed by a learning orgnanization depending on whether this issue is important to the overall business stragetgy. Infosys has helped clients create training for environmental, health and safety issues when these issues are key to a client's success.
I hope that answers your question. Karen
