Ontuitive, a world leader in performance support solutions, has joined an influential research and benchmarking programme into learning technology trends, organised by Towards Maturity.

Towards Maturity provides an annual benchmark report into learning innovations in the workplace, looking at key trends in how learning is evolving in practice. It's Ambassador programme, launched in 2011, is a vision of improvement for the learning industry, shared by its ambassadors: a group of twenty one leading commercial learning organisations, which have joined the programme to identify good practices and innovations in learning that support organisations looking to accelerate performance.

Ontuitive is a pioneer in performance support and has spent over ten years questioning the old ways of learning that are struggling to cope under the waves of change taking place in business. It has created a new business-learning model based on delivering learning in the workflow to enable performance right when a query or question arises. "Towards Maturity's annual benchmark offers us a great opportunity to highlight how great performance systems should work and their role in accelerating the performance of organisations. We will use a number of our 'gold standard' implementations to help establish best practice approaches in the industry," explains Ali Parkinson, a director of Ontuitive in the UK.

Towards Maturity's benchmark highlights and encourages learning innovation that directly impacts results in the workplace, so it's especially relevant for Ontuitive," added Ali. "Ontuitive shares common aims with Towards Maturity to explore innovation and establish excellence and we're fully behind this exciting programme."

Ontuitive has prepared a whitepaper: ' Performance Support - Ready When You Are: Creating Strategic Value in L&D', which is available to L&D and other business professionals that want to learn more about performance support. The company is also taking part in the Online Educa conference, Berlin from 28-30 November and the Learning Technologies conference, London from 29-30 January, where Ontuitive's team will be on hand to discuss the company's developments in performance support applications and methods. Its '2 clicks and 10 seconds' performance support development methodology and authoring software has been shortlisted for a 2013 Learning Award by the Learning and Performance Institute.
