Increase Your Scope: Transition from Learning Leader to OD Leader

Are you looking for the next challenge? Are you interested in navigating the recent trend of L&D leaders growing in OD (organizational development) responsibilities? The line between L&D and OD continues to blur and for good reason—as an OD you have the ability to generate an impact greater than bringing engaging learning experiences to your organization.

In this session we’ll talk about the trend of L&D toward OD, why it’s positive, and how to embrace the transition. We will begin by identifying examples of how OD is already a part of what L&D leaders do—performance management, employee experience—and why. Then we’ll see the benefits of this trend for both employees/org and us as learning leaders.

We’ll end with several practical examples of the L&D/OD overlap, as well as pragmatic steps on how to engage in this overlap if you aren’t already. You’ll leave inspired to elevate your role to include a greater scope, responsibility, and impact. If you’re interested in growing your career, this session is for you!

In this session you will learn:

• The definition and examples of the L&D and OD overlap
• Why transitioning to OD is a positive movement
• How to engage in OD initiatives
• What all this means long term
