Let’s cut the nonsense: most L&D teams believe they’re aligned to business outcomes. In practice, they’re aligned to training requests. That gap is where L&D loses its strategic credibility, and it’s the exact gap this session closes.
In this Training Industry’s Leader Talks session, we confront the disconnect between learning activity and business impact, then hand you the framework to close it. Skills create a direct, measurable chain from business priority to capability gap to learning investment to performance evidence. Using AI workforce readiness and leadership development as real examples, we show you what that chain looks like in practice, not in theory.
We go beyond metrics for metrics’ sake. You’ll learn how to identify the capabilities that actually matter, build targeted skill pathways, and set up measurement frameworks that prove progress beyond completion rates. This isn’t about tracking more data. It’s about giving L&D a seat at the table by finally speaking the language business leaders already use: outcomes.
