New Research Reports
What Talent Acquisition Technology Buyers Want
This research ebook, based on Brandon Hall Group’s 2016 Talent Acquisition Technology Study, focuses on the top competencies talent acquisition technology buyers want from their technology providers. It also shows the differences in buyer preferences among small, mid-size and enterprise organizations, and discusses the value of buyer experience.
Why We Can’t Effectively Measure Learning’s Impact on Performance
This KnowledgeGraphic, based on results from Brandon Hall Group’s 2016 Learning Measurement Study, looks at the reasons why most organizations only measure learning at elementary levels that don’t really reflect whether the learning is improving performance or business outcomes. While organizations say their formal learning measurement is fairly effective, almost no one is doing an effective job of measuring informal or experiential learning.
Women in Leadership
This ebook features research and insights from women leaders on barriers to more women in senior leadership roles in corporations, and how to overcome them. Suggested changes include more targeted development of women leaders and strong coaching and mentoring programs for women leaders.
Learning Measurement 2016: Little Linkage to Performance
This research summary provides an overview and the top five findings of Brandon Hall Group’s 2016 learning measurement research. The research reveals how organizations measure formal, informal and experiential learning, the maturity of their measurement initiatives, and the drivers of measurement. Though learning leaders often talk about the importance of measurement, the study revealed that only 6% of organizations are truly measuring all types of learning and tying it to business performance. This is the first of several reports on the 2016 learning measurement research.

Simulation-Based Retail Training by Jutten
Jutten has developed a simulation-based training framework for creating customized training applications for retail organizations. Store environment, artifacts, customers, systems – everything that the store employee will have to deal with in real life – is simulated in an interactive, 3D environment. For every retail organization, this environment is customized so it matches the actual work environment.
Torch LMS Focuses on Efficiency and Customer Service
Training managers, especially those in small and mid-sized organizations, often have other duties besides administering their LMS. Sometimes they are over HR, conduct training, do all of the instructional design, and have additional duties. They need a system that they can manage on their own. An intuitive system that allows irregular use without retraining, and with extensive automation that will work as if they had additional staff. Torch LMS removes any unnecessary steps, and adds automation whenever possible, while also focusing on training and responsive customer service.
Webinars
Leaders Driving Your Business = LDP x (Energy + Focus)
Leadership readiness is stuck in the status quo. Brandon Hall Group’s research shows that only 12% of organizations currently feel their leadership is very ready to meet the needs of the organization, and only 5% feel their leaders are very ready to take on the future needs. Organizations are just not “leadership ready.” Organizations need to accelerate the velocity and positively change the trajectory of their leadership development programs by focusing on how to better help their leaders grow. The question is how do we accomplish this? Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer for the Brandon Hall Group, and Jim Kauffman, Product Manager and Executive Consultant from DDI, led an in-depth discussion regarding the steps organizations need to do to accelerate development with a more effective leadership development program.
