T1S5 - Learning Leadership

Thursday 30 April 2026
Conference Theatre 1
Learning Measurement, Impact & ROI , Learning Leadership & The L&D Profession , Sustainable Learning & Continuous Development
Disruption has become the default context for L&D, yet many learning teams remain stuck in reactive mode. This session challenges that stance, exploring how learning leaders can turn uncertainty into a source of business value rather than ongoing strain. It reframes L&D as a catalyst for change adoption and organisational learning, provided leaders are willing to step into a more intentional, influential role.

Charting a Course to Business Value: L&D Strategies for Navigating Uncertainty - Laura Overton & Michelle Ockers

For many learning teams, disruption has become the permanent backdrop to their work. New technologies, shifting business priorities, and continuous organisational change can make L&D feel perpetually reactive, responding to the latest demand rather than shaping what comes next.

In this session, Laura Overton and Michelle Ockers challenge that narrative. Drawing on real stories from learning leaders working at the edge of change, they explore how disruption can become an advantage rather than a liability.

Rather than positioning L&D as a function struggling to keep up, this session reframes learning as uniquely positioned to help organisations absorb, adopt, and benefit from change… if learning leaders are willing to step into that role intentionally.
