| TJ is delighted to support the Towards Maturity Benchmark. Both TJ and TM are dedicated to ensuring that learning makes impact on the bottom line and through our various research activities we are mutually supportive of each others work and objectives. In today’s challenging times organisations need to look outwards, to measure themselves against others to ensure that they continuously change to meet the demands of our modern world. TM provides learning and development with a unique opportunity to enter into this collaborative approach by conducting regular and rigorous surveys of industry practice and by ensuring that the resulting data is available to its practitioners to help them improve their personal development and their organisations’ success.

| “Benchmarking in not just a ‘nice-to-have’. If learning professionals and their organisations are to achieve the objective to continually improve their performance they need to understand the areas in which they’re doing well and those that need more work. Benchmarking is a vital tool to help uncover this information and drive effective people and learning strategies.” Charles Jennings Follow on Twitter: @charlesjennings |
