Periods of organizational change can place intense pressure on learning and development (L&D) teams. Whether navigating leadership shifts, restructuring or shifting business priorities, L&D is expected to support employees through disruption while also adapting its own strategies and capabilities. Inside many organizations, the absence of clear processes for change makes it even harder for L&D to anticipate needs and support business goals.

Our research shows that only 7% of organizations give themselves consistently high marks across multiple facets of change preparedness.

Is this really the best we can do?

When learning leaders understand the conditions that enable employees to adapt, the barriers that commonly derail transitions and the organizational practices that drive sustainable change, they can better position L&D as an essential partner in navigating through uncertainty rather than a reactive afterthought.

Join us for a Research Spotlight grounded in exclusive Training Industry insights exploring how organizations can successfully embed L&D into the core of their change initiatives. Drawing from our latest ebook and infographic, we’ll examine the biggest obstacles learning leaders face during change, the competencies that support organizational readiness and the evidence based practices that help L&D drive clarity, continuity and confidence when the future feels unpredictable.

In this session, you’ll be able to answer questions like:

1. What are L&D’s most common challenges during periods of disruption, and what do they imply about change readiness?
2. How can L&D teams establish clear, consistent communication that supports both the organization and its employees throughout a change initiative?
3. What practices improve adaptability and enable employees to navigate ongoing change?

You’ll walk away with research‑backed strategies to anticipate disruption, redesign L&D support pathways and communicate more persuasively with stakeholders. Most importantly, these insights will help you anchor L&D as a stabilizing and strategic function — even when uncertainty is unavoidable.
