As workplace learning professionals, we often feel frustrated, pushed into the role of order taker, marginalized as course creators—when we know we can do much more. Our time is now. We are needed. CEOs are worried about whether their organizations can survive. They see employee talent and skills as critical to organizational success. As learning professionals, we should be the pivot point, yet we are not as empowered as we need to be. In this session, renowned L&D consultant Will Thalheimer will share a roadmap to our empowerment, based on his new book, The CEO’s Guide to Training, eLearning & Work: Empowering Learning for a Competitive Advantage. Thalheimer offers a powerful vision, advocating that we move beyond impact and aim higher—helping to create a competitive advantage for our organization and our learners. This session outlines the future of L&D. It is not to be missed.

Attendees will be able to:

Communicate foundational insights in L&D practices to senior leaders.
Build a roadmap of practical activities to boost the influence of your learning team.
Utilize competitive advantage as a goal that unlocks empowerment.
