Description

As organizations strive to address their clients’ critical business issues, T&D professionals play a vital role in creating and implementing talent development solutions for their organizations. In a recent study by Deloitte LLP, human capital strategy is seen by many CEOs as one of the top priorities for growth, presenting an exciting opportunity for learning professionals. To address this crucial role of connecting talent development to an organization’s complex growth strategies, T&D must strategically go beyond the need expressed by one person, one department, or one executive and help to define what the business truly needs. After all, no one needs training . . . they need the outcomes of training.

In this webcast, we will examine:

  • The steps to build a consultative relationship with internal clients and add value at each step of the process
  • How to gain an in-depth agreement with the internal client by discovering the true nature and scope of the problem to be solved
  • How to connect your services to their issues with real value, as defined by your internal clients
