How to make L&D a strategic business enabler

Webinar | Wednesday, 27th January 2021 11:00am GMT | HR Grapevine & Go1

You are watching on demand.


What new stakes does COVID bring to L&D in 2021? On one hand, companies with workplace disruption are struggling to meet the demand for digitised content to close skills gaps. On the other hand, L&D is under pressure as a cost line item and unless learning leaders demonstrate contribution to ROI, there is a genuine risk for many L&D teams.

The challenge is; most senior L&D professionals do not know how to operate like a business within their company. This is the biggest reason budgets get cut or not secured. L&D themselves need to be upskilled to overcome this gap.

Industry experts, Lori Niles and Amanda Nolen, are in a unique position to discuss the skills L&D need themselves to become strategic business enablers. Ollie Browning at Go1 can also provide insight into the unique solutions to consider when procuring content and provide economies of scale to drive better ROI for L&D.

The focus and takeaways of this webinar will be:

  • How to work with stakeholders

  • How to demonstrate evidence of need and applicable evaluation strategies

  • How to use proprietary methodology, including Data-Driven Learning Design and Learning Triage
