The State of Learning Analytics: Views from 1000 L&D Professionals

What is the current state of learning analytics? Is measurement that drives data-driven decisions a pipedream or a reality? In 2021 Watershed, LEO Learning, and CLO surveyed 1000+ L&D leaders and professionals to gain valuable insights into current capabilities and the desired future state of learning analytics within global organizations.

Our findings set out the current state of play for how L&D approaches measurement. We asked comprehensive questions on:

Current demand (who is asking for reports, and on what?)

Current technical capabilities (technology stacks, ecosystems, and placement on measurement maturity models)

Current operational capabilities (team shape, skill sets, and job roles)

Desired future state (ideal measurement goals vs current state)

Bill Conran, Watershed’s VP of Strategy and Business Development, will present key results and findings. He’ll be joined by special guest speaker Bonnie Beresford, GP Strategies’ Senior Director of Performance and Learning Analytics, who brings a wealth of hands-on practical experience to the conversation.

In this session, you will:

Discover what your peers are doing, the tech they are using, and where they place on measurement maturity models.

Explore key trends; from L&D’s need to embed ‘business impact metrics’ into learning design to the importance of nurturing a data-driven mindset.

Get ideas, tips, and inspiration based on real examples to progress your organization’s approach to learning analytics.

Have the opportunity to access our reports yourself after the webinar to apply your own thoughts and context to our results. Do you agree with our interpretation?
