The LXCI is a composite score that takes into account four key indicators of how learning executives feel the learning function will change during the next six months. Of the four key indicators, performance improved from last quarter to this quarter for all four:
1. ability to meet learning needs
2. impact on corporate performance
3. perception of the value of learning
4. availability of resources.
ATD’s survey also asked additional questions to determine learning executives’ outlooks for other measures, providing valuable context for the LXCI. Respondents were asked how they thought their workplace’s funding for training and development would change during the next six months.
Four out of 10 learning executives expect to see an increase in funding for learning in the next six months. At the other end of the spectrum, 16 percent of participants actually expect to see a funding drop. The remaining 44 percent expect funding to remain stable.
Participate in Future LXCI Surveys
The LXCI relies on survey responses submitted by learning executives, and ATD Research is extremely grateful for the continued participation of many individuals. If you are a learning executive interested in participating in the future by completing brief online surveys, please email [email protected].
ATD publishes the full report online each year in January (for Q4 of the previous year), April (Q1 of the current year), July (Q2 of the current year), and October (Q3 of the current year). The full report is free to everyone.
