Session Overview

Beyond Learning and Development: Positioning L&D as a Strategic, Sustainability and Growth Partner
In today’s fast-paced and results-driven business environment, Learning and Development (L&D) is no longer just a support function; it is a strategic partner in driving transformation, innovation, and sustainable performance. This session explores how L&D can move beyond transactional delivery and isolated interventions to co-owning business success through intentional, capability-led strategies that fuel both growth and long-term organisational resilience. Grounded in practical experience, the session will introduce a structured approach to aligning learning with business priorities, ensuring that learning interventions evolve from being reactive to becoming proactive and transformational. This shift enables L&D to contribute meaningfully to business objectives, build future readiness, and support a sustainable talent pipeline.
Participants will be introduced to a practical alignment framework that connects business goals to targeted and scalable learning solutions designed for lasting impact. The session will explore how to position L&D as a trusted partner that is able to influence decision-making and co-create solutions with business leaders and ensure that learning is not only impactful but is also embedded in the long-term sustainability of the organisation’s capability agenda. In addition, the session will explore how L&D can partner with functional leaders to use data and insights to demonstrate real value and shift success metrics from basic activity tracking to outcomes that matter. By adopting this approach, L&D professionals can elevate their role and ensure learning is recognised as a key lever for strategic execution, business continuity, and sustainable organisational growth.
Learning 1: Aligning L&D strategy to core business objectives to drive measurable outcomes and stakeholder value.
Learning 2: Gain insights on building credibility with senior stakeholders and position L&D as a credible Business Partner.
Learning 3: Metrics that matter – explore methods for defining and tracking L&D success using business relevant KPIs, moving beyond completion rates.
