About this event
Exploring what it takes for L&D leaders to become invaluable strategic business partners with organisational impact
This interactive event is aimed at L&D practitioners, managers and leaders who aspire to have strategic influence with direct and demonstrable impact on business outcomes.
By the end of the event you will:
- Understand the shift from L&D leader to strategic business partner
- Identify the skills needed to align L&D initiatives with organisational goals
- Gain practical tools to influence senior stakeholders and demonstrate measurable impact.
The event will begin with nibbles and networking with your fellow L&D leaders.
We’ll then explore the evolving role of L&D and invite you to discuss the challenges faced by L&D leaders in having strategic impact in their role.
You’ll also hear about strategies to improve your business acumen and translate L&D metrics into business impact.
This is a practical session and an opportunity to develop your boardroom-ready skills as well as network and learn from other L&D leaders.
