Looking Back at 2022 – A Year in Review

It’s been a whirlwind of a year in which there have been some huge changes with deep and lasting impacts for L&D teams and their approach to digital learning. So, what have we learned over the last 12 months? In this blog David Perring, Chief Insights Officer at Fosway Group, looks at the highlights and low points of L&D in 2022 and the implications of key trends for the year ahead for learning organisations and our use of digital learning, skills, content, platform and ‘high value’ learning.

Why is this important?

The C-suite recognised that learning is a lever for organisational success. According to Fosway research, nearly half of L&D professionals said their executive team see learning as critical to success. Only 2% say their executives don’t see any value in learning. Given the huge changes in virtual working and remote working everyone sees the importance of the L&D team in facilitating and enabling change, and this is highlighted by the fact that over half see themselves as effective at mobilising their team behind their organisation’s strategic priorities. If you are focused on the top priorities – you’re focused on what your leadership team values. But the challenge comes when L&D tries to articulate their value add. As many as four in five say they are only just starting, planning to or don’t measure their impact on performance. This immaturity is critical. If you can’t articulate your value add then you’re vulnerable to cuts if budgets come under pressure. Get the full insight beneath.
