Editor's Notes
Organisational (External complexity forces)
► Growing in a complex world
► Managing the demands of over-regulation
Organisational (Internal complexity forces)
► Driving digital and the need for a new business model
► Investing in intelligent data analytics
People (External complexity forces)
► Continually innovating and exceeding the customer experience
► Addressing major talent and capability gaps
People (Internal complexity forces)
► Leveraging value from more demanding employees
► Unleashing the power of people
41% of CEOs anticipate that their company will be significantly transformed over the next 3 years. That number has risen significantly from the 2015 survey, in which 29% of CEOs held that opinion.6
There has never been a more critical time for the C-suite to demand more from their business leaders and people professionals.

As we go into 2017, it is clear that the aspirations of L&D leaders are higher than ever. Our ambition to to improve efficiency, transform traditional approaches, boost performance cultivate agility AND influence culture is at an all time high. However, those of us that turn that ambition into a reality seems to be at an all-time low.
Towards Maturity’s research over the last 13 years shows that this is a growing and uncomfortable trend. We need a breakthrough, fast!
Typically all our work is focussed on low performers –how to improve , how to engage. Shifting our perspective to high performers
What can the high performers in L&D teach us about working smarter?
Rise above the day to day
What is really important to business and to individuals?
Do you how your staff are actually learning?
How do we use leverage our networks of managers to respond to this?
What do you need
To Stop?
To Start?
To Continue?
How do we use leverage our networks of managers to respond to this?

A fixed mindset, according to Dweck, is where people believe their basic qualities, like their intelligence or talent, are simply fixed traits. They spend their time documenting their intelligence or talent instead of developing them. They also believe that talent alone creates success - without effort. Our friends at Internet Time Alliance compiled a list of 50 things that you think - if you have an old workplace mindset. They characterise innate attitudes that render our influence in the organisation, our control, our past successes our rigid definitions as defining, rigid and immovable.
The growth mindset on the other hand is where “...people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work - brains and talent are just the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.”
We know from our research that top performing learning leaders are already achieving breakthroughs that others only dream of. Our latest report, Unlocking Potential, highlights some of the practical keys to their success.
Having looked at this for some time, whilst their tactics are helpful to know, it is their attitude that underpins their success. How they embrace a type of growth mindset that counters old style thinking.
Times of dramatic political and global change provide an enormous opportunity for people professionals passionate about making a difference to individuals. This year, don’t let it freak you out – grab the opportunity and unlock the potential of yourself, your business and the individuals within your organisation!
