Description

As senior business leaders focus on shrinking performance gaps and skill shortages to execute upon business strategies, they’re also driving their L&D functions to be more strategic.  In September and October 2015, TRAINING Magazine and Wilson Learning Worldwide conducted a research study to examine what it means for L&D to be more strategic, best practices of those organizations that lead the way, and what organizations aren’t doing but should do to be recognized as a strategic L&D leader.

Whether you are just beginning to tackle this issue or have a “seat at the table,” this webinar will help you understand the data and benchmark yourself for valuable insights. In this webinar, we will summarize important findings from this data, and examine the specific actions that strategic L&D organizations are doing that separate them from other organizations. 

In this session, we'll explore:

  • What the data says about strategic L&D efforts so you can benchmark your organization
  • The best practices of strategic L&D functions
  • A pathway to achieving a strategic L&D capability in your organization

 

Join us for this webinar to hear first-hand insights gained from this research study.
