Accelerate the Learning Curve - Consider Learning Services Outsourcing to Achieve Results

The importance of learning or training is increasing as organizations clearly realize that right skilled people are their true differentiators in the ever increasing competitive environment. However, learning is unique among HR functions as in many organizations it is decentralized. In addition, learning may need to be delivered to employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, partners, or any combination of these. Learning Services Outsourcing (LSO) has emerged as a strategic choice for buyers to effectively manage these complexities and meet their short term goals as well long term business objectives.

This white paper defines LSO and describes the different sourcing models for learning services available in the market.  In addition, the paper outlines the objectives being realized by current buyers , and presents supplier options and considerations. It is based on a comprehensive research study on the LSO market, the results of which have been published in two reports – “Learning Services Outsourcing (LSO) – Accelerating the Learning Curve” and “Learning Services Outsourcing (LSO) – Supplier Profile Compendium”.
