Without a learning and development strategy:
- Piecemeal initiatives are put in place, creating duplicated efforts and wasted resources.
- Programs aren’t created or evaluated holistically, creating gaps in learning.
- L&D initiatives might not line up with organizational initiatives.
With an effective learning and development strategy in place:
- Programs are easy to evaluate against organizational objectives.
- All initiatives are working toward the same goals.
- There is clear understanding between all employees as to why training occurs and how it can be implemented most effectively.
