Beyond Learning: The Strategic Role of L&D in 2025 & Beyond

The L&D function is under pressure and power. As we step into 2025, organizations are no longer just asking how people learn. They’re asking how learning fuels performance, innovation, and long-term success. At the center of this evolution? A reimagined L&D strategy that is not only aligned with business goals but also adaptive to the rise of AI and automation.
In this high-impact session, we’ll explore what it takes to lead L&D into its next era, from redefining success metrics to integrating AI meaningfully (not just buzzword-deep), and from supporting performance at scale to proving ROI across the business.
With only 16% of employees using AI tools daily and 38% rarely or never using them, the gap between innovation and application is real. L&D leaders must bridge that divide and do so with strategic intention.
Join us to explore provocative questions, fresh strategies, and actionable insights that will help you lead the change, before it leads you.
