The TJ Readiness Index survey is a quick, practical way to see what’s helping, and what’s getting in the way, of evidence-led progress in L&D. If you want the background and detail, it’s all in the TJ L&D Influence Report 2026.

For you personally, it’s a fast reflection tool. In a few minutes, you’ll sense-check your current reality across access to decision-makers, usable data, permission to run tests, and the support needed to implement and scale what works. It can help you spot your biggest constraint right now, and the one change most likely to shift things.

“I think it’s very powerful, particularly if we can be genuinely honest about where we are in the profession”

Laura Overton

It also helps the wider profession. Individual experiences matter, but patterns across roles, sectors and organisation sizes are even more powerful. By adding your perspective, you’re helping Training Journal build a clearer, more data-led picture of readiness across the industry, and what needs to change for L&D to have more consistent impact.

We’ll share insights from the growing dataset later in the year, alongside practical prompts and examples to help teams act on what the results reveal.

Take the survey, and help us map what it really takes to turn evidence into action in 2026.
