L&D isn’t just about delivering training – it’s about driving real business impact. Yet, many L&D teams struggle to gain influence, prove their value, and innovate in ways that truly engage learners and leadership alike.
To build an L&D function that shapes business success, ask yourself these three critical questions:
Does my L&D team have the influence it needs to drive change?
When was the last time senior leadership actively sought your team’s input on business decisions?
Are your L&D professionals skilled at stakeholder engagement, consulting and negotiation?
Does your team confidently position learning as a key driver of business success?
If you answered no to any of these questions, it may be time to develop the influence and consulting skills that separate great L&D teams from average ones.
Is my L&D team measuring and proving its impact?
Do you track more than just course completions and learner feedback?
Can your team demonstrate how learning improves productivity, retention or revenue?
Are your learning outcomes directly linked to business KPIs?
Without a clear ROI strategy, it’s hard to secure leadership buy-in or grow your L&D investment.
Are we creating learning that truly engages and delivers results?
Does your team use brain-friendly learning techniques that improve knowledge retention?
Are your learning programmes aligned with real business challenges?
Is your L&D team constantly innovating and adapting to new learning technologies and strategies?
If your answer to any of these is ‘not yet’, then it’s time to power up your L&D function.
