  • Rethinking Learning and Development: The Case for a 3-To-1 Experiential Learning Model, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD
    Feb 22 2025

    Abstract: The traditional 70-20-10 framework for organizational learning has become outdated, failing to account for advancements in technology, employee learning preferences, and the need for immediate impact. This paper proposes a revised 3-to-1 experiential learning model that better aligns with today's workplace. Grounded in experiential learning theory, the model emphasizes applied, hands-on learning experiences over abstract classroom training, with a 3:1 ratio of experiential to formal learning. Industry examples illustrate how the 3-to-1 model is implemented through immersive simulations, action-based coaching, and micro-learning reinforcement - enabling employees to directly apply new skills and see tangible business impacts. By transitioning to this more flexible, technology-enabled approach, organizations can enhance learning retention, engagement, and performance in the rapidly evolving modern workplace.
