There is a lot of talk about big data and how it will help businesses become more responsive to customer needs. The same thinking can be applied to corporate learning and development. To date, HR and L&D professionals have approached skills development from either a business-need perspective or to meet demand from line managers. Now big data, revealing the way in which individual learners are embracing and using eLearning, is driving more effective workforce learning.

"Data analytics allows HR and L&D to respond to users much faster than would have been possible in the old days", says Armin Hopp, Founder and President of Speexx. "Big data allows us to control and measure learning results while steering learners along a learning path based on their results and achievements. With the help of cloud-based solutions, organisations are disseminating systems throughout their workforce and measuring the results against the standards that they’ve set."
