The performance-linked learning system

A successful learning system must be planned and aligned with other functions within the organization. Any learning plan must be used in tandem with budgetary and planning systems, and aligned with the overall targets and goals of the organization. Our performance-linked learning system is based on an analysis of organizational goals and the development of integrated and prioritized learning solutions to provide the competencies required to achieve those goals.

Benefits of a performance-linked learning system

The following are some of the benefits of a performance-linked learning system:

• It ensures learning is directed to increasing the overall performance of the organization, as well as satisfying individual training needs.
• It ensures that learning is a direct response to: Who in the team needs which competencies, and in what order, for the team to achieve its targets?
• It ensures that learning provides a planned, integrated and prioritised solution to a performance problem which has been systematically analysed against overall organizational goals.
• It ensures that learning is focused on contributing to profits, savings and financial benefits.
• It contributes to the organization’s continuous improvement system.
• It contributes to a sustainable competitive advantage by ensuring the right competencies are in the right place at the right time.
