Position L&D as a Core Strategic Enabler

A key challenge for L&D leaders is to position the learning function as a core strategic enabler, building its influence and impact on organisational growth. By presenting a clear vision and articulating the value of learning at the executive level, the Learning function becomes a key influence in critical business decisions. This prevents underinvestment and stagnation of the learning agenda.

Effective leadership of the Learning function ensures that learning initiatives are aligned with business strategy, future-proofed, and capable of delivering sustained organisational value.

This four-day programme, designed and delivered by HPC is based on the latest research on the key challenges facing learning leaders as they navigate an increasingly complex environment dominated by AI and demands to deliver increasing value. These questions include:

• How do I create a learning strategy that is fit for purpose?
• How do I gain support for my agenda?
• What are the most appropriate development strategies to drive performance?
• How can technology, and specifically AI, enhance our offering?
• How do I evaluate and demonstrate success to the business?
• How do I promote myself and my function across the business?
