Turning pressures into opportunities

Online
For our 2023 Leadership Report, we partnered with YouGov to survey 557 business leaders across 12 industries. We asked them about their perceptions of learning in their organizations and, in the report, take an in-depth look at the priorities, concerns, and expectations business leaders share about L&D.

Join Chief Impact Officer, Nahdia Khan and Researcher, Anna Barnett on Wednesday March 29 at 4:00pm BST as they dive into the key findings of the report, including:

  • Business leaders believe L&D should be focusing on the people-centric goals of the organization.
  • The things leaders care about the most (e.g., reducing operational costs and transforming/growing the business) are not necessarily the areas they expect L&D to be involved in.
  • "L&D lacking a long-term vision" was reported by business leaders as the number one reason organizations are "held back" from achieving what they want to.
  • Business leaders’ priorities for 2023 aren’t as clearly defined as they were in 2021. 

At a time when leadership teams are most concerned about reducing costs and are having to make difficult decisions about what is and isn’t worth backing, Nahdia and Anna explore how L&D teams can improve the way they show the impact of their efforts and initiatives to build stronger relationships with their leaders.
