Digital transformation and the future of work were accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The L&D function stepped in to help organizations pivot to new realities and in the process gained a seat at the proverbial table. The future challenges organizations will face will require depth and agility from the L&D function. Are you ready to meet it? Does your team have the right skills and capabilities to meet the demands?
 
The Association for Talent Development’s (ATD) Talent Development Capability Model™ is a research-backed framework that identifies the knowledge and skills L&D practitioners need to know and do to be successful—now and in the future. Created with interactive tools, this Capability Model helps individuals and entire teams assess their strengths and growth opportunities and then provides a customized learning plan to help address skill and knowledge gaps. This puts the power of personalized learning at your fingertips.
 
In this session you'll learn about the Talent Development Capability Model, observe how the assessments work, hear about trends in skills gaps across the talent development profession, and understand the power of the Capability Outlook tool that can be leveraged to maximize your team's effectiveness. It's time to unleash your full capability, and the full capability of your team!
