From Busy Work To Business Driver: Task Benchmarking For Smarter Ops
Ryan Austin is Founder and CEO of Cognota, helping professionals learn how to run L&D like a business. In a world where every business unit is under pressure to do more with less, talent and learning development (L&D) teams can no longer afford to operate like back-office cost centers. To drive performance, teams must become strategic enablers, yet for too many, I see everyday inefficiencies quietly undermining credibility, budget and impact. A new wave of learning operations (LearnOps) insights reveals that the path to both operational excellence and strategic influence starts with something deceptively simple: task benchmarking. Not just a project management trend, task benchmarking is fast becoming the blueprint for L&D teams looking to cut waste, boost delivery speed and mature their learning operations from reactive to predictive. How Invisible Tasks Inflate Costs Across industries, operational expenditures (OPEX) in L&D are bloated not because of major program launches or high-tech purchases—but because of the invisible workload: small tasks like communications, approvals, content development and reviews repeated thousands of times across the organization. My company's analysis of benchmarking data in a brief titled "The Rise of Learning Operations," and developed in part with Brandon Hall Group, analyzed behavioral data from over 500 learning professionals. It reveals that tasks classified as "quick wins" (those taking under two hours) are the most frequent and the most underestimated. These include: • Drafting and sending communications • Reviewing and approving documents • Simple quality assurance checks While individually minor, these tasks add up to thousands of hours annually, often performed manually or with inconsistent effort estimates. The result? Projects that run long, cost more and leave business partners frustrated. We've found that failing to automate or benchmark these small tasks can lead to 30% to 50% longer cycle times and 25% higher costs per project. Why Poor Estimation Breaks Business Alignment Underestimating task duration is more than a project management faux pas—it's a trust issue. Take evaluation creation, one of the highest-risk task types. We've found that these tasks are underestimated by 30% on average, leading to last-minute scrambles, missed launches and loss of executive confidence. Approval cycles, too, are notorious for their unpredictability, often derailing timelines without warning. By building a task-level estimation baseline, teams can finally begin to forecast resourcing needs, set realistic timelines and rebuild trust with business stakeholders. A tip: Use risk mapping to identify high-variability tasks and pad time appropriately. Implement task benchmarking reviews in your planning process. Task Benchmarking As A Learning Operations Accelerator L&D maturity doesn't just happen—it's built, brick by brick, task by task. My company's own learning operations maturity model outlines five levels of operational sophistication: 1. Reactive: Firefighting mode, ad hoc task management 2. Managed: Some structure, but inconsistent execution 3. Strategic: Aligned to business outcomes, predictable performance 4. Predictive: Data-driven and risk-aware task planning 5. Adaptive: AI-assisted, real-time optimization of workflows Teams stuck at levels one and two often feel overwhelmed by chaos. But those who implement task benchmarking see a clear path forward: from reactive to respected. Task benchmarking is not just an efficiency play—it's a maturity lever. High-maturity teams don't just deliver faster; they're seen as critical enablers of business transformation. Task Bundle Templates Benchmarking doesn't have to start from scratch. Standardized task bundles can streamline planning, clarify expectations and improve resource forecasting. Common examples and benchmark goals include: • Quick Win Communication Tasks: Two hours • Content Review Tasks: Four hours • Evaluation Development: Six hours • LMS Deployment Preparation: Eight hours These types of task bundle templates serve as operational blueprints—empowering teams to normalize delivery expectations, sharpen capacity planning and forecast labor requirements with surgical precision. By grounding every project in real-world benchmarks, L&D leaders can shift from guesswork to governance. For example, a "compliance module update" bundle might include stakeholder review (1.5 hours), copy edits (one hour), LMS upload (half an hour) and QA testing (two hours). Embedding bundles into workflows sets data-backed expectations, clarifies scope and aligns resourcing. One common mistake in this process is applying benchmarks too rigidly. Instead, treat them as starting points, adjusting for project complexity or audience needs. Flexibility with discipline is the goal. And with the emergence of LearnOps AI, the potential grows even further. By combining task benchmarking with intelligent automation, teams can unlock capacity, streamline execution and scale impact—all without adding OPEX or head count. OPEX Optimization Through Operational Intelligence The real value of benchmarking comes when effort connects to business impact. By combining task and resource benchmarks with a structured taxonomy, L&D teams can align work to outcomes. For instance, aligning a leadership training initiative to "improving manager retention" might involve mapping hours spent on cohort design, facilitation and post-program coaching. At maturity level four, teams gain real-time visibility into resource use, project progress and ROI. One sign of readiness? Consistent intake processes and centralized oversight of budgets, tasks and timelines. This enables the integration of learning, operational and financial data for smarter decisions. Don't Get Relegated To 'Order Taker' Organizations that ignore task benchmarking face a future of irrelevance. The consequences can include ballooning OPEX with no clear path to value, longer project timelines, missed opportunities and loss of trust from business stakeholders Perhaps most critically, L&D remains stuck in a support role instead of becoming a strategic business driver. The Future Belongs To Those With LearnOps Excellence It's time to replace the myth that learning transformation starts with big ideas. In reality, it starts at the task level—with clear benchmarks, better forecasting and more intelligent resource allocation. L&D teams that embrace task benchmarking are not just optimizing costs—they're building the operating system for high-maturity performance. Ready to move from busy work to business driver? Start benchmarking. The future of L&D—and your OPEX—depends on it. Forbes Business Council is the foremost growth and networking organization for business owners and leaders. Do I qualify?
