Programme Design Toolkit

  • 75% of what we learn is forgotten after one week
  • 80% improvement in knowledge retention using spaced learning techniques
  • £54 billion was spent on learning and development by organisations in 2022

Knowledge retention remains a significant thorn in the side of any Learning & Development (L&D) function looking to make lasting impact.

Consider the amount of time, budget, and resource your organisation spends on L&D programmes. How can you increase your return-on-learning, especially in a time of tightening L&D budgets and increasing expectations to deliver? Why do learning at all if it isn’t going to stick?

There is a way forward.

Our Programme Design Toolkit explores spaced learning, an evidence-based approach to programme design that ensures learning sticks through strategic re-embedding. The Toolkit also features supporting case studies from our programme design projects with pioneering global brands, including our award-winning collaboration with bp.
