Capability Academies

Traditional corporate training models are giving way to capability academies that build mission-critical skills while directly supporting business objectives.

Key L&D Evolution Challenges:

1. Content Relevance – According to LinkedIn's 2023 Workplace Learning Report, 74% of employees feel traditional courses don't adequately address their on-the-job skill needs.

2. Learning Application – The Association for Talent Development's 2023 State of the Industry report shows that only 12% of learners apply skills from traditional training to their work.

3. Business Impact Measurement – Bersin's Corporate Learning Factbook (2023) reveals that 68% of L&D departments cannot effectively measure learning's impact on business outcomes.
