Panel Discussion: The skills pivot - how leading organizations are turning learning into performance

Wednesday 29 April 2026
LT Seminar Theatre 7
LT Exhibition

As organizations face growing pressure to build critical skills and deliver measurable performance impact, L&D leaders are rethinking traditional approaches to learning. This panel brings together leading voices in the field to explore how strategies are evolving to focus on capability building. The discussion will examine emerging trends in skills development, performance-focused learning, and the role of AI. We'll also explore how organizations are operationalizing these shifts through scalable solutions such as workshops, skills accelerators, and contextualised learning experiences. Grounded in real-world practice, the session will offer practical insights into how learning leaders can align strategy with execution, embed learning into the flow of work, and drive meaningful business outcomes. 

  • Understand how leading organizations are shifting from learning delivery to performance impact.
  • Identify key trends shaping skills development, including AI and contextualized learning.
  • Explore practical approaches to scaling capability building (e.g. academies, accelerators, workshops).
  • Apply strategies to align L&D initiatives more closely with business performance goals.
