CIPD Publishes 2010 Learning and Talent Development Survey

According to a new survey from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the major change affecting learning and development in the next five years will be a greater integration between coaching, organisational development (OD) and performance management to drive organisational change.

Almost half (46%) of the learning and development practitioners surveyed forecast this development, with 37% saying there will be a greater responsibility devolved to line managers.

The Learning and Talent Development 2010 survey of over 700 practitioners found that the most effective learning and development practices currently are in-house development programmes (56%) and coaching by line managers (51%). According to the annual survey, 82% of practitioners use coaching within their organisations, a large growth this year compared to 69% in 2009.

The survey found that e-learning is the practice that has increased the most in the past year, with six in ten (62%) organisations saying they use it more now than in 2009. In-house development programmes are also used more by 58% of organisations, and coaching by line managers is used more by 56%. The survey found that attendance at external conferences, workshops and events has decreased the most, with a quarter (26%) of organisations are using it less.
