In the current setup, corporate houses are
increasingly becoming inclined towards
technology-aided learning, which is obvious
keeping in view the close integration between
work and learning. It is very essential for the
Learning and Development function to find a clear
link between the business objectives of the
organization and individual development through
learning. In this regard, custom learning greatly
helps in aligning both, the personal and
organizational objectives.
3
Here are six ways in which custom learning helps
align business strategies with learning
initiatives.
4
It prioritizes learning through setting up
long-term business objectives.
It is only when employees have a clear
understanding of the business objectives that
custom learning can help in achieving the overall
business goals. In this scenario, the LD team
should work closely with the Business Managers to
understand performance-related or skill-related
gaps and accordingly bridge it by suggesting
effective custom learning solutions. This helps
in improving the learning impact and adapts to
the changing business priorities.
5
It helps in calculation of the Return on
Investment (ROI).
The objective of every learning activity should
be to add real value to the business.
Organizations that are heavily inclined towards
LD always calculate the ROI from their learning
programs and often, go beyond their means to
calculate the actual impact it made to the bottom
line. This also gives a clear picture to the
management as to how learning is allied with
their business objectives and plans and hence,
accordingly gives a push to the learning efforts.
6
It always focuses on the end results.
It is necessary for the LD function to be clear
of the specific learning needs and goals of the
organization. Therefore, all custom learning
solutions designed must bear the end business
results in mind. The topmost learning
organizations set up business goals for learning
interventions and then measure if the goals have
effectively been achieved post the learning
activities being performed. Further, they also
ensure effective use of these developed skills
during work.
7
It is never an isolated activity.
Custom learning never takes place in isolation in
corporate houses. The LD team often makes it a
priority to integrate learning activities within
the wider talent and performance strategy. In
these organizations, learning is closely and
carefully enmeshed with proper succession
planning, active recruitment drives and
successful initiatives for performance
management.
8
It ensures that employees can establish a
learning culture.
It is essential for learning to be embedded into
the employees workflow. It helps to develop a
learning culture. They should have the answer to
this vital question Whats in it for me? It is
very important for employees to realize how their
learning would support the performance of the
organization and how their individual performance
would contribute to the overall success of the
business.
9
Support from the management serves as icing on
the cake.
Proactive support from the senior management in
the form of ongoing commitment towards varied
learning initiatives serves as a great boost for
the employees as well as themselves. Managers
have the capacity to influence and motivate
employees much more than what the top learning
professionals in the organization can do. Hence,
if managers embrace LD initiatives, the
organization can witness a significant increase
in the reach as well as impact.

Summary
Modern organizations now successfully implement
learning with a thorough understanding of what is
important for the business. They can clearly
interpret how custom learning solutions can add
greater value to their organizations and as a
result, increase the business value.
