T1S5 - Learning Leadership
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.
