CLO100 Launches the CLO Impact Index: The Global Benchmark for L&D Leadership Excellence
CLO100, the professional body for strategic learning leadership, has today announced the launch of the CLO Impact Index. This innovative, free-to-use digital assessment tool has been designed specifically for Senior L&D Leaders to evaluate their organisational learning maturity and benchmark their performance against industry peers.
As the demand for L&D to demonstrate tangible business value intensifies, the CLO Impact Index provides a structured framework for leaders to move beyond activity-based metrics and focus on strategic impact. By completing the index, participants receive an immediate, personalised snapshot of where their organisation sits in relation to global standards and other high-performing L&D functions.
Driving Industry Standards Through Data
The CLO Impact Index is more than just a self-assessment. To support the wider L&D community, CLO100 aggregate the anonymised data to produce a quarterly Impact Index report. This report provides the industry with vital insights into emerging trends, common challenges, and the shifting landscape of corporate learning.
Cathy Hoy, CEO of CLO100, explained the vision behind the initiative:
"For too long, L&D leaders have operated in a vacuum without a clear, objective way to measure their strategic standing against their peers. We introduced the CLO Impact Index to bridge this gap and provide a free, accessible benchmark that empowers leaders to identify their strengths and pinpoint areas for growth. Our goal is to elevate the entire industry by providing the data and insights necessary to turn learning into a true engine of business performance."
