The most fundamental disruption that all training providers face in the coming years is not moocs, education technology or online learning. Rather, the most disruptive force will be big data sets which provide more transparency into the actual learning gains, or lack thereof, achieved by students as a result of training and development programmes than ever before. Simultaneously, the rise of competency-based education represents a major opportunity amongst this disruption.
