Bersin and Associates recently published their UK Training and Development Factbook® 2010. Their research showed some very interesting comparisons to their findings in the US.
Findings that I found interesting:
1. Historical slower adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) vs. the US
39% of US organizations use LMS V 25% of UK organizations use LMSs
2. Overall, twice as many US Companies are using Rapid eLearning Authoring Tools
32% of US organizations use Rapid eLearning Authoring Tools V 16% of UK organizations use Rapid eLearning Authoring Tools
3. Overall, US companies deliver twice as much training through corporate eLearning 2009 vs. the UK
4. Overall, US companies deliver over three time as much training through virtual classroom solutions
5. Training spending in the UK declined only 4% in 2009, vs. the US’s 11%
Clearly there are still huge opportunities for UK based companies to reduce the cost of learning and development through modern learning technologies.
