  • In the six years from 2002 to 2008, training budgets have fallen by 30% in real terms*.
  • Even if the Government were to meet all its skills and education targets by 2020, "the nation's human capital will still fail to be world class" (the Leitch review of UK Skills, 2005).
  • Research has shown that a 5% increase in the proportion of workers trained is associated with a 4% increase in productivity (Dearden L. Who gains when workers train? Institute of Fiscal Studies, 2000).

Cost-effective Learning and Development practice has never been so vital, when it comes to maintaining a talent pool that maintains your organisation's competitiveness. KnowledgePool can help, by sharing best practice in needs analysis, curriculum development, evaluation and administrative processes. This ability is essential if L&D teams are to deliver performance improvements against a background of ever-tighter financial control.
