70-20-10 design worksheet for hybrid teams

2026-07-15 · 5 min

A planning heuristic popularized by Lombardo and Eichinger / CCL — useful for assigning work, not a proven law of learning.

70-20-10 is a widely used planning heuristic (often associated with Lombardo & Eichinger and the Center for Creative Leadership). It is not a scientific law and the ratios are not a target to hit.

Use 70-20-10 as a design prompt, not as proof.

  • 70 (experience): a real project and a named reviewer.
  • 20 (exposure): a coach and a meeting cadence.
  • 10 (education): a course that exists for a reason you can say out loud.

Empty boxes mean the model is a poster. Fill the boxes with names and dates.
