  It’s hard to make connections right now. COVID19 has become but one of many jarring elements in our daily lives. But we can’t wait. We need each other more than ever. It’s time to build your Personal Trust Network.

  Like many buzz words, the term “be strategic” is spoken more often than it is understood. Whether the expectation comes from our internal clients, learning function leadership, or ourselves, we must begin by getting clear on what it really means to be strategic and what it looks like in practice. If our learning function is a key enabler of business success, have we earned the right to say that it is strategic?

  To know for sure, we must ask ourselves two questions:

  • Have we enabled the running of the business?
  • Are we advancing the growth strategy of the business?

  Both are important, though often, learning professionals that are very adept at the former (which is more responsive), sometimes struggle with the latter (which is more proactive).

  This session will explore both what we need from our business leader, and what we need to bring to the table to be strategic.

  Key Outcomes:

  • Increase the strategic impact of the learning solutions we provide the business
  • Have learning be recognized as an enabler of achieving business outcomes
  • Have our role be viewed as a credible partner to our internal clients
