In a world where there is growing pressure for increased results from fewer people, Organisations have no option but to invest heavily in learning and development. The problem is that there is not always a correlation between expenditure on training and development and pay-off for individuals and Organisations. Also individual learning may not integrate with organisational needs. Yet it is essential that individuals should be ‘helped to take on greater responsibility for their own development and growth’ (to quote the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development).

The key requirement, then, seems to be to create a situation where learning

• is owned by the individual,

• is properly supported

and at the same time

• is closely integrated with organisational needs.

This is what Self Managed Learning provides.
