The Learning Cycle

The Learning Cycle is a continuous process which consists of the following elements:

• Identification of Learning Needs - The process by which organizations and individuals systematically investigate current and future learning requirements in relation to the operating environment.
• Learning Design - The development of an intervention (training, job rotation, etc) to address the identified learning needs.
• Delivery of Learning Programme - The implementation of the learning intervention at individual, group or organizational levels.
• Learning Evaluation - Without evaluation we do not know if the investment in learning has had the desired result.
