You’ve likely heard of the 70-20-10 guideline for learning and development, which says that 70% of learning comes from on-the-job experiences and challenges; 20% comes from other people; and 10% comes from courses and formal training. This classic talent development principle emerged from over 30 years of our research, and essentially says that the bulk of a leader’s learning actually happens at work.
That’s why, as important as formal coursework and training are, the most effective talent development programs put experience at the center of the process. Challenging assignments give individuals the opportunity to learn and refine their approach to be more successful in the future.
Experience-driven talent development is when experience — carefully designed and executed — becomes the core driver of learning in the organization. Working and learning are bound together, aligned with the business strategy and shaped by a talent development strategy. The key is to make experience-driven leadership development intentional.
That’s where we come in. We can help ensure your talent development program takes a systemic approach to learning by working with HR leaders to create a leadership architecture that can cascade both formal learning and on-the-job experiences throughout the entire organization. Build a talent development pipeline that’s agile, resilient, and future-ready.
When learning from experience is embedded in the culture, the gap between doing the work and developing others shrinks. Learning isn’t added on, and coaching and mentoring aren’t initiatives — they’re what everyone does.
An experience-driven talent development program requires a shift in your organization’s mindset and culture, along with changes in strategy, process, and roles.

“We put leadership quite high on the agenda. We need people that have the capacity not only to organize a business, but also people who are able to create adherence to a strategy and culture, who create enthusiasm to empower people and who, at the same time, are available if people need help.”

“The idea of looking at talent across the system was still foreign. The instinct at the local level was to develop talent — and then protect it. It was clear that to implement succession planning in a meaningful way, we needed to change our vision. We had no way to create meaning around systemwide succession planning when our culture was in many ways locally focused.”
