LXCI at highest point since Q4, 2009

Derived from the responses of 404 learning executives (LXs), this first quarter in 2013 is off to an extremely strong start reporting a score of 68.1. Both 2011 and 2012 also commenced with strong optimism from learning executives (67.1 and 67.3 respectively), but confidence waned later in each year. Confidence has been restored or renewed as this year brings new opportunities, new budgets, and strong positivity toward learning and development.

The LXCI Q1, 2013 score increased by 4.2 points to 68.1, from last quarter’s score of 63.9. In 2011, the scores showed that learning executives were cautiously optimistic toward the economy and job market; while in 2012, although confidence was still positive, it started to decline. For Q1, 2013, the score may be extremely high due to a fresh start to the year and excitement in this year’s projects. The unemployment rate is at a four-year low and hiring is on the upswing, so this may be boosting confidence for this year’s outlook. Also, calculation of the LXCI has been modified as of Q1, 2013. The LXCI indicator of learning as a key strategic component has been replaced with how favorable the value of learning will be perceived, so this may also be positively effecting the LXCI score.
