Beyond the Score: Rethinking the Pillars of Learning Maturity Assessments

Learning maturity assessments have gained traction as organisations attempt to move beyond activity and towards demonstrable impact. Tools built around frameworks such as the Kirkpatrick Model typically organise maturity across a set of core capabilities, most commonly including strategic alignment, performance design, behaviour activation, measurement and evaluation, and optimisation or governance.
