The '''70:20:10 Model for Learning and Development''' (also written as 70-20-10 or 70/20/10) is a [[Training and development|learning and development]] [[model]] that suggests a proportional breakdown of how people learn effectively; based on a survey asking nearly 200 executives to self-report how they believed they learned.<ref name="Lombardo">{{Cite book|last1= Lombardo|first1= Michael M|last2= Eichinger|first2= Robert W|title= The Career Architect Development Planner|year= 1996|edition= 1st|___location= Minneapolis|publisher= Lominger|page= iv

Line 9:

* 20% from developmental relationships

* 10% from coursework and training

[[Michael Lombardo]] and [[Robert Eichinger]] expressed their rationale behind the 70:20:10 model this way in ''The Career Architect Development Planner'':<ref name=Lombardo />

<blockquote>Development generally begins with a realization of current or future need and the motivation to do something about it. This might come from feedback, a mistake, watching other people’s reactions, failing or not being up to a task – in other words, from experience. The odds are that development will be about 70% from on-the-job experiences - working on tasks and problems; about 20% from feedback and working around good and bad examples of the need; and 10% from courses and reading.</blockquote>

*The use of perfectly even numbers <ref>{{cite web|last1=Thalheimer|first1=Will|title=People remember 10%, 20%...Oh Really?|url=https://www.worklearning.com/2006/05/01/people_remember/|website=Work-Learning Research|accessdate=28 October 2019}}</ref>

* The nature of the [[Survey_(human_research)|Survey]] (i.e. Asking already successful managers to reflect on their experiences.) <ref name=Jefferson>{{cite web|last1=Jefferson|first1=Andrew|last2=Roy|first2=Pollock|title=70:20:10: Where Is the Evidence?|url=https://www.td.org/Publications/Blogs/Science-of-Learning-Blog/2014/07/70-20-10-Where-Is-the-Evidence|website=Association for Talent Development|accessdate=20 May 2016}}</ref>

* The model may not reflect the changes in the market instigated by online technologies. For example, it does not reflect the recent focus on [[informal learning]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.trainingindustry.com/wiki/entries/the-702010-model-for-learning-and-development.aspx|title=The 70:20:10 Model for Learning and Development {{!}} Training Industry|date=2017-09-28|website=www.trainingindustry.com|language=en|access-date=2017-09-28}}</ref>

* The 70:20:10 model is not [[prescriptive]]. Author and learning & development professional Andy Jefferson asserts it "is neither a scientific fact nor a recipe for how best to develop people." <ref name=Jefferson />
