Getting the CEO’s ear, and showing you mean business
Donald H Taylor opens the upcoming Learning Technologies Digital Experience on getting senior leadership on board with learning and development.
“We have an opportunity right now in L&D. An opportunity that won’t last forever. Things are in flux, and senior leadership open to the idea of change. This is the moment to shift L&D to a more strategic role – but how?” poses Donald H Taylor.
In this opening session of LTDX 2.0, Donald will suggest how to persuade your CEO (or any senior member of your organisation) that L&D is more than a training function, and set the scene for it having greater influence.
From a big picture view of change to practical, actionable steps in L&D, this interactive presentation will invite you to set up a meeting with your CEO and change the way you do L&D forever.
Donald’s session, 'Getting the CEO’s ear, and showing you mean business', takes place on day one and is the first session of the conference, Monday 21 June at 09:30 BST.
