Your role as a learning practitioner is evolving rapidly. Learning and development (L&D) is increasingly expected to act as a proactive partner in improving operational performance. Learning efforts and initiatives must align to these performance expectations and clearly demonstrate results.

Leading companies such as Tesla, Amazon, Toyota and Starbucks among many others operate as learning organizations. They use integrated learning strategies to directly support core strategic goals and the key operations that deliver that value. This work happens within the organization’s performance framework, where learning is linked directly to strategic objectives, mission and vision and the outcomes that matter most to business leaders.

Based upon Ajay M. Pangarkar’s pioneering book, “Learning Metrics: How to Measure the Impact of Organizational Learning,” this session challenges you to move from activity-based learning to performance-driven learning. Working within the most well-known and applied operational performance framework, the balanced scorecard, you will discover how the “Learning and Growth” perspective plays a central role in achieving business objectives.

Learn how to:

  • Address leadership expectations tied to strategy execution.
  • Align learning initiatives with core operational and strategic objectives.
  • Map tangible learning metrics to operational metrics within a defined performance framework.
  • Communicate measurable performance results from learning to business leaders.
