Organisations and their learning teams are facing an existential crisis - which provides a unique opportunity for transformation. Academic and industry evidence has shown that our thinking about learning in organisations needs to change. Organisations that can successfully shift their focus from L&D outputs (programmes and initiatives) to business results are likely to be more agile, competitive, and innovative. This shift demands a systemic change in L&D that leverages formal, informal, and organisational learning. To date, few organisations have been able to achieve this systemic change.

Tulser Global brings together the founders of the 70:20:10 Institute, Jos Arets, Vivian Heijnen, Charles Jennings, and Laura Overton, the founder and former CEO of Towards Maturity, to create a leadership team of L&D changemakers with many years' experience innovating new approaches for L&D and analysing global trends.

The new team will lead fundamental change across learning and development, helping organisations to focus on and to build business-critical value through new L&D business models.

Jos Arets said, "Focus must move to considering L&D's value in terms of the business value it creates, requiring a systemic change in L&D that is outcome led and evidence informed. The 70:20:10 Institute's work is driven by science through the application of solid research, and its experience working with Hilti, Citigroup, and others shows that L&D can realise business value rather than just learning value. This is the direction that corporate L&D must take, and Tulser Global aims to provide L&D with the leadership and direction needed to embark on this systemic change."

Laura Overton added, "The evidence of the past fifteen years shows that results matter and that learning innovation, done well, does deliver results. We saw this at Towards Maturity, but we also saw that L&D struggles to fully embrace the change it knows it must go through. New business models for L&D are needed to help it to see the change through. Tulser Global will work transparently and collaboratively and aim to help all stakeholders to co-create the future of learning and to help organisations and individuals create business value through learning in ways that will bring about fundamental change."

The company name is an anagram of RESULT: the starting point of successful learning demands focus on the business results that need to be achieved.

Tulser Global has three primary objectives:

• to help corporate learning leaders and their teams become value creators and business critical through practical, proven, and innovative approaches and tools
• to provide evidence-informed, robust, tested methodologies to accelerate change.
• to establish an alliance across the industry to share a focus on driving business value through output led, evidence informed learning decisions.
