3 Pillars of Learning Leadership

A 1-Day Intensive Guide

Learning leadership is built upon our ability to connect learning to the needs of the business and to influence senior leaders toward seeing our work through the eyes of performance.

To be successful in this, learning leaders need to build skills in key areas. This daylong seminar focuses on three pillars of learning leadership:

Using data to identify business questions and challenges
Leveraging that data to formulate a learning strategy that addresses the challenge
Executing that strategy

Led by industry experts who bring a wealth of strategies, tips, and guidelines, 3 Pillars of Learning Leadership will provide you with a path to data-driven, strategic planning that will ensure that your learning programs directly target clear and relevant business needs and goals.

With an intensive focus on the practical side of learning leadership, you will spend your day connecting and collaborating with fellow learning leaders and exploring processes and skills that you can immediately apply in your work.

Separate fee-based registration is required.
