From Learning to Performance: Essendi’s Journey to a Learning Culture that Drives Business Impact

Wednesday 29 April 2026
Seminar Theatre 11
The real challenge for L&D today is not delivering learning, it is turning learning into measurable business performance.
 
Essendi operates across 22 countries as an owner, investor, and operator managing a portfolio of hotels across Europe. Known for its expertise in asset management and operational excellence, the organisation recognised that sustaining performance in a dynamic hospitality landscape required more than training programmes. It required embedding learning into leadership, curiosity, and the real challenges people face in their work.
 
In this session, discover how Essendi placed learning at the heart of its transformation. By empowering leaders and connecting capability building directly to operational priorities, learning became a driver of performance and impact across the organisation. Learn how Essendi moved beyond learning activity to create a culture where capability development supports real business outcomes, and what other organisations can take from this journey.
