With Cathy on the team, the LPI's vision and strategy will be hugely augmented, allowing us to gain new perspectives, and find new ways to stay at the leading edge of workplace learning.

Cathy will be a key stakeholder to help our industry enact sustainable transformation, and truly realise the power of learning to improve business performance."
Cathy Hoy said: "I am very excited to be working with the LPI - the global body for workplace learning - as we develop new and innovative solutions to help learning leaders address the challenges they are facing. I can also say that the global side of the LPI is an area of focus, as the influence of those organisations continues to grow. We are working with some of the most exciting companies in the world, and the data that gives us enables us to fashion solutions for everyone."
