Podcast | Cross-functional complexity - how can employers operationalise better L&D?

As workforce development becomes more connected to AI, governance, workflows, and enterprise systems, learning decisions are no longer being made by L&D alone.

IT, Finance, Legal, Procurement, and Security teams are now deeply involved in evaluating workforce development solutions — and many organizations are pushing back against adding more fragmented tools into already complex ecosystems. So, what does this mean for employers looking to shift away from a platform-centric approach to L&D, to a more embedded experience for employees?

Sarah Budd-Katz, GTM leader at Go1, and Al Dea, Speaker, Facilitator, Advisor and Podcast Host for The Edge of Work, joins the HR Grapevine Podcast to address that question, drawing on insights from Go1’s New Buying Committee research and real customer conversations.

We’ll explore how workforce development buying behaviour is changing, what stakeholders are actually asking during evaluations today, and the key issues L&D leaders need to understand to build stronger cross-functional support for future workforce development initiatives.
