Organizations are investing heavily in upskilling and building skills-based talent strategies, yet many still struggle to see measurable improvements in business results. In many cases, employees are learning new skills, but those skills never show up in the decisions they make or the actions they take on the job. This session focuses on why skills initiatives stall after rollout and what needs to change to make skills visible in day-to-day performance.

Join Vince Martinez, senior partner at Culture Partners, to learn how leading organizations are building business acumen through experiential learning to improve decision-making and performance. Drawing on decades of real client examples, Vince will demonstrate how experiential approaches make skills usable in the moments that actually drive results.

This interactive talk will show you how to:

• Identify why skills-based initiatives often fail to drive measurable business results.
• Understand how business acumen influences execution, prioritization and performance.
• Explore how experiential learning approaches can accelerate behavior change and improve outcomes.
