“70:20:10 is a reference framework and not an implementation model. 70:20:10 simply points out that most learning occurs as part of working and sharing with others (the '70' and '20' parts) and the model helps organisations design solutions that exploit learning from working and learning with others.” Charles Jennings

🚨 Completion rates don’t protect budgets. ROI does. Yet: - 44.3% of L&D teams can’t link training to KPIs - 21.8% have no method to connect results to ROI - 50.4% say they rely on data “too weak” to show business value That disconnect leaves training teams vulnerable, especially when every department is under pressure to show results. The iSpring team has been working on a solution. We set out to address this gap: 📊 Surveyed 150 L&D teams across 17 industries 🌍 Analyzed markets in North America and Europe 💬 Spoke with global experts like Cara North, Alinnette Casiano, Holly Owens, Heidi Kirby, and Ben Mayhew 🎯 The outcome is a new white paper, “The ROI Shift: Proving the Value of Corporate Learning in 2025.” Inside, you’ll find the three archetypes of L&D teams worldwide, and a blueprint to track ROI in ways executives can’t ignore. As Holly Owens, Instructional Designer and Director of Growth Marketing, said, “To prove ROI, you need to correlate your data to business KPIs and translate everything into terms they understand, like time and money.” Download your free copy and find out how to prove training ROI: https://ispri.ng/73Npy #TheROIShift #ROI #iSpringLearn #elearning
