ATD’s Learning Technology Ecosystem report found that two-thirds of organizations have a data governance strategy.
While 72 percent of talent development (TD) professionals believe that learning technology is vital to their organization’s overall strategy, new research by the Association for Talent Development (ATD) finds that only 32 percent of organizations were conducting formal reviews of their learning technology ecosystems.
When organizations did audit their systems, only about half were continuously reviewing them with a focus on learner content, learner satisfaction, and learner needs, according to the ATD research report sponsored by eloomi, Learning Technology Ecosystems: The Tools, Strategies, and Skills Needed for Success.
“TD professionals must continuously audit and review the components of their learning technology ecosystems,” according to the report. Usability and compatibility should be reviewed along with determining if the technology meets learner and business needs and goals.
Two-thirds of organizations have a data governance strategy. One of the most common strategies was improving compliance with data regulations. Other strategies included improving documentation of data and improving data quality.
“When deciding how to manage data, organizations need to ask questions; for example, ‘Who has access to the data?'” the report recommends.
