We are delighted to launch the first edition of the ‘Learning Health Index (LHI) Africa Study 2021 by EdCast, powered by LRMG’, for the Africa market, to identify areas of excellence and opportunities for improving learning health within organisations.
Why this study and why now?
Josh Bersin, published this article in June 2020: The Pandemic Is Changing Society and Business In Amazing Ways BY JOSHBERSIN · PUBLISHED JUNE 13, 2020 · UPDATED JUNE 15, 2020
His opening positioning was the following: As we enter the fourth month of the global Pandemic, it’s becoming clear that The Big Reset is real. Society is changing in some positive ways. Let me give you a list of ten to think about.
“The fifth point on his list is: learning has returned to the center of HR. I spent much of my career as an L&D analyst, and I’m absolutely thrilled to report that the L&D market is as healthy as I’ve ever seen it. The Pandemic is actually a business transformation, so companies are throwing money at workforce development”.
We firmly and wholeheartedly believe 2020, has been a year that we, as Learning & Development professionals, have never experienced ever before. Now is the right time for learning professionals to step in and step up and the Learning Health Index (LHI) Study for Africa, will enable us to do just that. The LHI will show our gaps and opportunities, allowing us to better partner and support business through the challenges the COVID-19 crises have presented.
The Learning Health Index (LHI) is based on a framework built on eight primary dimensions of learning that contribute to an organisation’s learning health. LHI is a survey-based tool that enables organisations to benchmark themselves with their peers to ascertain their overall standing in their industry and market. This objective of this Study is to create a deeper understanding of learning health in organisations using a validated research approach.
