Benchmark your company’s talent development data against industry standards from ATD’s 2023 State of the Industry report.

Get Your TD Yardstick Ready

Over 50 percent of CEOs say skills shortages and technology disruption will impact profitability over the next decade, and roughly 75 percent of companies are focused on investing in automation, upskilling, and deploying advanced technology, according to PwC. To meet these organizational demands, many talent development leaders are investing, on some level, in a skills-based talent development strategy. Yet many others are left wondering where they stack up and how far along they should be in the development process.
To address this need, ATD's senior leader executive consortium CTDO Next created the Skills-Based Talent Development Maturity Model to provide a structured approach to assessing, planning, and improving an organization’s skills-based TD efforts. Attend this webinar and learn how to align your skills-based initiatives with the business’s strategic goals, foster continuous improvement, enhance accountability, and ultimately drive long-term success. During the webinar, ATD staff will describe the model and review research that drove its design, and a senior leader practitioner will explain use cases for the model within an organization.
