“…In this study, we specifically focus on implementation of the 70:20:10 framework to support learning transfer designed to develop middle managers in the Australian public sector. We do this because of the lack of empirical investigation of the 70:20:10 framework (see Clardy, 2018;Kajewski & Madsen, 2013). We also do this because of the important role that middle managers play in organizations (Currie & Procter, 2001;Embertson, 2006), their essential role in supporting the learning and development of the majority of an organization's employees, including their role in supporting the transfer of learning (70:20:10 Forum, 2015a; Enos et al, 2003;Lancaster, Di Milia, & Cameron, 2013) and because of claims that transfer of learning is more challenging in management development and government sectors (Awoniyi et al, 2002;Blume et al, 2010;Kirwan & Birchall, 2006;Laker & Powell, 2011;McCracken et al, 2012).…”
