Invitation to participate as a Respondent: Ph.D research survey (Strategic L&D)

Dear ODETD Practitioner

I would like to invite you to participate in my Ph.D research survey, which attempts to measure the strategic impact and value of Learning and Development (L&D) practices globally. The research objectives include:

• To determine the level of strategic maturity of current L&D practices;
• To determine the L&D capability gap index (i.e. differential between the status quo and perceived importance);
• To develop and conceptualize a strategic L&D scorecard/model and
• To recommend strategies to transform current L&D practices into a strategic learning partner.

By participating in this research survey, you will make a valuable contribution to the current level of understanding and insight regarding the strategic contribution of L&D practices, thereby expanding the body of knowledge in this field.

Thank you for taking out your valuable time to complete this questionnaire. The questionnaire comprises of a total of 175 items and it should not take longer than 25 minutes to complete. As a respondent, you can be assured of the strictest confidentiality of the information that you provide.
