Abstract

This IDC study examines how training professionals are managing the mix of delivery methods in an effort to achieve the ideal blend for their organizations. It looks at what factors are driving the selection process, how IDC expects the blend to change over the next 12?18 months, and which delivery methods are valued most.

Specifically, it answers such questions as:

How is the current blend of learning modalities being determined? What does the current mix of delivery methods look like? Which modalities does IDC expect to see grow the most in the next 12?18 months What are the top drivers for each modality? "In the same way that cross training produces a higher level of all-around conditioning for an athlete," said Peter McStravick, senior research analyst, Learning Services, "a blended learning solution, when rolled out effectively, can produce results for an organization that are greater than the sum of its individual parts."
