Scaling Learning Success through the Power of Extended Development Teams
Why Scalable Learning Needs a New Approach
With training and development now ranked among the most valued employee benefits, organizations are challenged to rethink how they deliver learning at scale. For today’s workforce, comprehensive development programs are no longer optional. In fact, 35% of millennials identify training as the top benefit they expect from their employer.
However, traditional formats like live, in-person sessions no longer match the pace or scale of modern learning demands, particularly in large or globally dispersed enterprises. The result? Learning strategies that once worked are now slowing growth, disengaging teams, and creating performance gaps.

Seamless integration among extended development teams... It’s a compelling concept—bringing in outside talent that fits naturally into your workflows and culture, contributing without disrupting momentum. But I wonder how often that actually happens in practice. Even with strong communication and alignment, there’s usually a learning curve. Different tools, different expectations, different ways of working—it takes time to sync up, doesn’t it? So I’m genuinely curious: has anyone seen an extended team integrate so smoothly that it truly felt seamless from the start? Or is “seamless” more of a goal than a guarantee?
