Are intellectual capital and the learning organization just buzzwords? Perhaps, this survey of national HRD executives, conducted by the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), provides some pointers.

Th e survey, published in the most recent issue of the Training & Development magazine is accessible online (temporarily) at:

http://www.astd.org/magazine/curren t/research.htm.

Some quick points from the survey are listed below.

83 %: executives are more familiar with learning organization than intellectual capital;
39 %: executives are more familiar with knowledge management;
90%: executives consider intellectual capital an important issue;
45%: executives had heard about intellectual capital only in last year.

Other terms usually associated with intellectual capital include:
knowledge 89%
learning 70 %
best practices 61 %

Based on the survey, the bre akup of companies engaged in various knowledge activities is:

40%: have someone overseeing organizational learning;
10%: have someone overseeing intellectual capital;
49%: have HRD or training as he lead or partner in the learning organization ini tiatives.
