Panel LTG85
Moving L&D from Training Order Taker to Supporting Workplace Performance
As organisations become more digital, the role of L&D departments change. Leading organisations are focusing on building an innovative culture, implementing complex change and leading in a world of uncertainty. This Panel aims to challenge you to think about how an L&D professional can support an organisation's digital journey, and what that entails for the L&D professionals skills. This change will include an evolution from being the creator and deliverer of materials to the new role of 'choice architect', fostering learning autonomy, arranging a wider range of learning solutions, and providing guidance and support to help users make wise choices.
