Does Your Learning Strategy Speak Business Outcomes?

For learning initiatives to be seen as a value add and growth tool in the enterprise, a company’s learning strategy must align to its business strategy and show that it creates meaningful results for the organization. For learning and HR leaders, this means honing a key skill: speaking business to the CEO, the board, and other executive stakeholders. 

Demonstrating the importance of the learning function for meeting business goals is essential to justify budgets and protect your programs. It also ensures that executive leadership clearly understands the value of learning and development. But, in a recent Udemy survey only 47% of respondents said their learning and business strategies are completely linked. This self-assessment is designed to help learning leaders evaluate how effectively they “speak business” and align their programs with organizational objectives.
