Calibrating the L&D Organization

We all know how the CMM and PCMM models have fundamentally changed the way mega corporations manage their operational processes. These industry standards, however, have predominantly benefited the production and HR organizations. But, what about the Learning & Development (L&D) organization?

Based on the CMM and PCMM framework, I’ve synthesized a Learning Maturity Model (LMM) for staged measurement of corporate L&D organizations.

The LMM has 5 levels and 15 practices, as depicted in the rendition above. Having peer-reviewed the model, I’m now conducting two dipstick surveys to determine the level of learning maturity of India Inc.

1. State of Corporate Learning Maturity (Foundational) – to ascertain whether Indian corporations have moved up from “initial” (ad-hoc L&D efforts) to “defined” (L&D process standardization)
2. State of Corporate Learning Maturity (Advanced) – to check whether Indian corporations have graduated from “managed” (L&D process measurement) to “optimizing” (L&D process improvement)

As a senior L&D professional, your contribution to the development of this L&D calibrator is vital. If you can take these quick surveys (of ~3.5 minutes burden time) to share your L&D organization’s maturity and notify me, I’ll email you a free report on the state of L&D organizations in India. You can also share your thoughts on the LMM by commenting on this post, and I’d very much like that.

Thanks in advance
