There are two 70/20/10 models in business: education and managing innovation.

Learning & development

The 70/20/10 Model for Learning and Development (also written as 70-20-10 and more commonly as 70:20:10) is a learning and development model.

Morgan McCall and his colleagues working at the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) are usually credited with originating the 70:20:10 ratio. Two of McCall's colleagues, Michael M. Lombardo and Robert W. Eichinger, published data from one CCL study in their 1996 book The Career Architect Development Planner.[1]

Based on a survey, McCall, Lombardo and Eichinger's surmised that:

“Lessons learned by successful and effective managers are roughly:

  • 70% from tough jobs
  • 20% from people (mostly the boss)
  • 10% from courses and reading”

Lombardo and Eichinger expressed their rationale behind the 70:20:10 model this way in The Career Architect Development Planner.:[2]

“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.”

Managing innovation

The 70/20/10 Model is a business resource management model pioneered by Eric Schmidt and articulated about Google in 2005.[3]

This model dictates that, to cultivate innovation, employees should utilize their time in the following ratio:

  • 70% of time should be dedicated to core business tasks.
  • 20% of time should be dedicated to projects related to the core business.
  • 10% of time should be dedicated to projects unrelated to the core business.
