The demands on L&D teams are evolving rapidly, outstripping the capacity of traditional approaches to learning and development. What to do? Join two learning leaders as they discuss what it takes to transform the L&D function, moving beyond content creation to address deeper organisational needs, and beyond the fulfilment role of L&D to something more pro-active, engaged with the business and challenging to it.

Creating change in learning: a dialogue on transformation

How can L&D teams adapt to meet the demands of today’s organisations? One thing is clear: it is no longer enough for L&D departments to focus on creating and delivering courses, as they once did. Skills need updating too frequently, knowledge goes out of date too fast. Organisations need learning strategies that prioritise agility, personalisation, and relevance. This conversation between two senior learning leaders examines what it takes to drive radical change in the L&D function, overcoming resistance and rethinking traditional approaches to skills development.

Attendees will explore what our real role is (it’s not creating nice content) and explore how to balance individual aspirations and business needs. To be successful in this role you have to have a thick skin, work without sufficient information and be prepared to take risks. Our speakers have done this, and they will share the lessons learned, and scars earned, on their journey.

  • The things about leading learning that nobody tells you
  • Addressing rapid skills and knowledge obsolescence
  • Securing leadership buy-in
  • Encouraging a culture of continuous learning and growth
  • Integrating top-down and bottom-up approaches effectively
