High-Performance Learning and Development — A Framework for Success
This comprehensive framework from Brandon Hall Group™ provides L&D leaders with a structured approach to creating learning strategies that drive organizational performance. The model centers around four phases: Define Organizational Requirements, Align Learning Requirements, Create and Deliver Learning Content, and Evaluate and Iterate. It emphasizes the critical contextual elements of culture, governance, technology, measurement, and AI integration.
The framework highlights how organizations can align learning initiatives with business objectives, leverage AI effectively, build supportive learning cultures, establish strategic content management, and upgrade measurement capabilities. Success levers include strategic alignment, data-driven approaches, stakeholder engagement, and relevant content to enhance individual and organizational performance.
How Innovative Learning Programs Impact Professional Services Companies — Case Study Analysis
This Brandon Hall Group™ case study analysis examines how three professional services companies implemented award-winning learning programs with measurable business impact. The study features Genpact, Karur Vysya Bank, and Mercer, highlighting their innovative approaches to workforce development.
Key results include Genpact’s 93% deployment rate of campus hires and 92% utilization, KVB’s training of over 8,200 employees to drive customer-centric transformation, and Mercer’s achievement of 24 hours learning time per person.
Nine critical success factors emerged: aligning learning with strategic goals, securing executive sponsorship, focusing on experiential learning, designing relevant measurement strategies, integrating learning enterprise-wide, utilizing adaptable delivery methods, implementing continuous improvement mechanisms, prioritizing cultural integration, and developing both technical and interpersonal capabilities.
This Brandon Hall Group™ research summary examines how AI and digital transformation are reshaping HR practices across industries. The study reveals HR departments are becoming centers of strategic innovation, with 71% of organizations anticipating increased productivity from AI implementation.
Key findings show uneven transformation progress — 45% implement AI through pilot projects while only 10% have comprehensive roadmaps, and 55% operate without dedicated budgets. Organizations face challenges including employee resistance (65%), ethical considerations (65%), and integration issues (55%).
The research summary recommends establishing strategic AI implementation roadmaps, developing human-AI collaboration frameworks, implementing change management strategies, designing future-focused HR skill development, and creating value measurement frameworks beyond time savings metrics.
