Group Strategic Framework

Our Opportunity in Learning

Our experience with customer site visits, customer requests, monitoring cases and external benchmarking indicates that the Leadership and Learning portion of the OD&L CoE requires a strategy and structure to meet the critical learning needs of the business and position learning for the future.

6

What We Have Found Critical Learning Needs Lack of effective ways for knowledge sharing

and knowledge transfer

Over reliance on instructor-led training which is costly, especially for those on direct labor

Excessive mandatory training requirements compared to our peers – redirect unnecessary cost and time charging to much needed ‘people manager’ and other capability building

Employees and front line supervisors are not aware of the development options available to them

The ability to find immediate answers to solve business problems and increase performance

Maintaining business capability during times of

increased retirements, reductions in force, and attrition

Cost-effective and efficient delivery of learning (e.g., shorter course length, alternative delivery times, different delivery modes)

Establish a learning environment that our future workforce expects
