The 70-20-10 Model for Learning and Development is a commonly used formula within the training profession to describe the optimal sources of learning by successful managers. It reveals that high-performing managers roughly learn and develop:
70% from job experience
20% from people (mostly their direct manager)
10% from courses and reading
According to the 70-20-10 Model of Learning and Development, development generally begins with the realization of current or future needs and the motivation to do something about it. This might come from feedback, a mistake, watching other people’s reactions, failing or not being up to a task – in other words, from experience.
The odds are that development will be about 70% from on-the-job experiences, and working on tasks and problems; about 20% from feedback and working around good and bad examples of the need, and 10% from courses and reading.
• Ensuring that everything is based on the participants' own day-to-day challenges.
• 100% inclusion of the participants' real life.
• No application of theoretical cases to the program.
• Ensuring involvement and feedback from the participants' direct managers, employees and peers.
• Teaching all leadership levels how to develop employees in their job on a daily basis and applying the 70-20-10 Model in practice.

LPI Leadership Development Programs Utilize 70-20-10
The transition programs fully integrate the 70-20-10 Model into the programs by:• Ensuring that everything is based on the participants' own day-to-day challenges.
• 100% inclusion of the participants' real life.
• No application of theoretical cases to the program.
• Ensuring involvement and feedback from the participants' direct managers, employees and peers.
• Teaching all leadership levels how to develop employees in their job on a daily basis and applying the 70-20-10 Model in practice.
The integration of everyday life (the 70%) is so strong that participants often feel that participation in the program is like being at work rather than attending a course. Consequently, learning from the program is directly and immediately applicable when the participants return to their jobs.
