Four New HR Model Videos Added to People Study Pro

We're excited to announce four new additions to our free HR models video library. These videos cover essential theories that appear in CIPD Level 5 qualifications, helping you understand and apply these frameworks in your assignments.
What's New
70:20:10 Theory of Workplace Learning
The 70:20:10 model, developed by Morgan McCall, Robert Eichinger, and Michael Lombardo at the Center for Creative Leadership, suggests that effective learning comes from three sources:
70%: from on-the-job experiences and challenges
20%: from developmental relationships and feedback
10%: from formal training and coursework
This model is essential for understanding modern approaches to learning and development and appears in 5OS03 Learning and Development Essentials.
Ansoff Matrix
Igor Ansoff's growth matrix is a strategic planning tool that helps organisations identify growth opportunities through four strategies:
Market Penetration: – existing products in existing markets
Market Development: – existing products in new markets
Product Development: – new products in existing markets
Diversification: – new products in new markets
This framework appears in 5CO02 Evidence-based Practice and is invaluable for understanding strategic decision-making in people practice.
Bounded Rationality
Herbert Simon's concept of bounded rationality challenges the assumption that decision-makers always act rationally. It recognises that our decisions are limited by:
- Available information
- Cognitive limitations
- Time constraints
Instead of seeking optimal solutions, we often "satisfice" – choosing options that are good enough. This concept is covered in 5CO02 Evidence-based Practice and is crucial for understanding real-world decision-making in organisations.
Katzell Motivation Framework
Raymond Katzell's framework provides a comprehensive approach to understanding what drives employee performance and how learning transfers to the workplace. This model helps L&D professionals design interventions that actually improve performance, not just deliver training.
This appears in 5OS03 Learning and Development Essentials alongside Kirkpatrick's evaluation model.
Growing Library
With these additions, our HR models video library now includes 26 professional explainer videos covering:
- Motivation theories
- Change management models
- Organisational culture
- Business strategy
