Webinar Overview

Every organization is working to close its skills gaps. Yet turning that commitment into measurable capability remains a challenge for many L&D teams.

Programs are launched, courses are built, and significant effort goes into upskilling. But the results do not always match the investment or the expectations.

At the same time, some enterprises are finding more consistent success despite facing many of the same challenges.

What are they doing differently?

This session looks at the decisions that shape a skilling program before a single course gets built. We will explore what successful L&D leaders consider first, why those decisions matter, and what can be learned when an approach does not deliver the expected outcome.

You will also hear one real success and one case where the same design choice led to a very different outcome, offering practical lessons from both.

The approaches shared in this session can be applied across organizations of different sizes and business domains.

Come ready to question your own approach to skilling and discover what you might do differently.

What You'll Learn

The Question to Ask Before Building Training

Explore the question high-performing L&D leaders ask before designing any training, and how it can help ensure skilling investments are focused on the right capability needs.

How to Build the Case and Scale Systematically

Learn an approach for building stronger alignment and securing stakeholder support, while creating a path to scale skilling initiatives systematically.

What Two Very Different Outcomes Can Teach Us

Explore one real success and one costly misstep shaped by the same design choice, and understand what the contrasting outcomes reveal about effective skilling.

Assess Your Skilling Maturity

Use a practical maturity model to understand where your organization stands today and identify opportunities to strengthen your skilling approach.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is designed for:

Chief Learning Officers

L&D Leaders and Decision Makers

Talent and Capability Development Leaders

HR Leaders

Learning Strategy Leaders

Workforce Skilling and Upskilling Leaders

Business Leaders responsible for workforce capability

Why Attend?

Because more training does not automatically translate into more capability.

If your organization is investing in upskilling but still finding it challenging to close critical skills gaps, it may be worth looking beyond the training itself and examining the decisions that shape the solution before training begins.

In this session, explore how organizations are approaching those decisions, learn from both a successful outcome and a costly misstep, and see how the lessons can apply to your own skilling strategy.

Leave with practical questions, approaches, and a maturity model to help you assess and strengthen your approach to workforce skilling.
