Learning and development professionals are committed to collaborate with stakeholders to deliver training that fits the needs of a particular audience in a particular context. They can give advice regarding curriculum design, strategy and management of learning pathways, learning styles, cross-cultural differences related to learning, how to create a positive and inclusive learning climate in various settings in order to increase learner engagement and facilitate lifelong learning, and many other things...

What can a Learning and Development professional contribute in an organisation?

Learning and Development professionals can help in various ways:

• Conduct training needs analysis so that learning interventions are relevant

• Suggest possible learning solutions that address the stakeholders needs. Not every training need should be addressed with a new course or workshop!

• Advise on training strategy that aligns with organisational goals

• Improve the effectiveness of learning events and pathways

• Coach and mentor trainers

• Help managers to retain and manage talent

• Create an organisational climate that fosters lifelong learning and innovation
