Blended Leadership Development Programs - TMCNet

Ninth House, Inc., the leader in blended leadership development, today announced findings of a new study, "Blended Learning in Leadership Development: What Works(TM)" by industry analysts Bersin & Associates. This informative study examines how industry-leading companies are using blended learning to extend the reach of their leadership development programs, and finds that by incorporating the Ninth House(R) blended solution, participating organizations are able to reduce the time required for leadership development programs by 50-60% without any decrease in learner satisfaction. The study finds that in order to be a successful part of a leadership development initiative, online courseware must be high-quality and engaging. The study defines high-quality online courseware as that which uses "video, interaction, creative story lines, exercises, and recognized management experts" and cites online courses from Ninth House as an excellent example. The impact of this is clearly illustrated by the unusually high completion rates of 75-95% reported by study participants.
