Key Findings & Highlights:

Clients are investing in learning at the highest level since before the recession began. There is an appetite for full LBPO contracts, but selective LBPO continues to increase at a higher rate across all learning towers, led by content development due to the conversion of instructor-led training (ILT) to e-learning. E-learning began to exceed ILT for the first time in 2012 and continues to accelerate, particularly for quick deployment of learning for geographically dispersed organizations and reduction of cost. Due to the shortage of talent caused by a skills gap in supply, talent development has increased in importance. Clients are seeking the help of specialists to attract, develop and retain talent. Vendors are helping, including by making the linkage of learning to performance management and developmental plans, both from a consultative and technological standpoint.

Cost continues to be a top driver of learning BPO as many client organizations decimated their HR departments during the recession. Though outsourcing is a less costly alternative than rebuilding internally, clients are looking to reduce cost while improving service delivery at the same time. NelsonHall has identified eight top learning BPO drivers, along with the associated top fifteen top sub-drivers, in the report.

Acquisitions continue, led by strengthening of learning services capability and expansion of geographic capability.

LBPO contract lengths are consistent with 2012 but down from 2010, due to client uncertainty and desire to reduce their risk.
