Building a Results-Driven Learning and Development Strategy (Online / Remote)
1Summary
Most training budgets get spent on programs that look impressive in a catalogue but never move a single business metric. The gap usually isn't effort or good intentions — it's the absence of a real strategy connecting learning activity to organizational results.
This course gives HR and L&D professionals the frameworks to close that gap: diagnosing real skills needs, designing programs people actually use, and proving impact with data rather than attendance numbers. Participants leave with the tools to build a learning strategy that holds up when leadership asks what the training budget actually delivered.
