Learnnovators, a leading e-learning company in India, has Laura Overton, Founder and Managing Director of Towards Maturity, as the guest in the latest edition of “Crystal Balling with Learnnovators” – their thought-provoking interview series that attempts to gaze into the future of learning.

Laura’s work is based on 25+ years of practical experience in implementing technology-enabled learning strategies for businesses. Laura authored ‘Linking Learning to Business’ in January 2004 – one of the first industry benchmark studies at the time. Since then she has authored over 35 independent reports and hundreds of articles sharing effective practices which are referenced around the globe, to drive L&D performance. A respected industry expert and speaker, Laura has been conducting workshops and stimulating debate around the globe. She is an Academic Fellow at the CIPD and a Fellow at the Learning and Performance Institute. She is on the steering board of Online Educa Berlin, the LPI and the L&D advisory board of the CIPD. In February 2010, she was the first woman to be awarded the LPI’s prestigious Colin Corder Award for services to training and was the recipient of the inaugural ‘Elearning Age Special Achievement’ award at the 2012 Elearning Awards. In 2014, she was voted number 1 in the top ten most influential people in the corporate e-learning in the UK and in 2015 she retained the top position in the UK and was also voted 5th in the Global list and 6th in the European list.

According to Ravi Pratap Singh, Co-founder of Learnnovators, “We are greatly honoured to have Laura Overton as our guest in our interview series today. This interview will help the learning community benefit from the valuable insights Laura shares on modern benchmarking for improving performance.”

In this exclusive interview with Learnnovators, Laura Overton shares her insights on why organizations need to rely on modern benchmarks more than the traditional ones, to improve performance. She explains where our e-learning practices are in this age of workplace learning. Her ideas on the kind of shift required in thinking to build a learning system that aligns with the dynamically changing demands of this knowledge age are invaluable.
