Description

Organizations invest heavily in learning, yet many initiatives fall short of delivering lasting behavior change and measurable business results. The difference isn't the quality of the training—it's how well learning is aligned with the organization's strategy, leadership, culture, and processes. In this webinar, you'll discover how a systems-based Organization Development (OD) approach helps transform learning into a strategic driver of organizational performance.

Designed for Learning & Development professionals, Organization Development practitioners, HR and Talent Management leaders, consultants, and business leaders, this session provides practical tools to diagnose performance challenges, design learning that supports business goals, and improve learning transfer and organizational impact.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
  • Explain why a systems-based OD approach leads to stronger learning outcomes.
  • Identify organizational factors that influence learning transfer and business performance.
  • Apply an OD consulting mindset to diagnose performance challenges before recommending learning solutions.
  • Design learning initiatives aligned with business strategy, leadership, culture, and organizational systems.
  • Identify practical actions that improve adoption, sustain behavior change, and increase organizational impact.
