Organizations face a range of challenges in today’s ever accelerating competitive landscape. Keeping up as L&D with today’s thinking and needs presents its own challenges. Ideally, L&D should be a highly strategic capability for growing people and the business, yet many impediments exist. Items to overcome often include perception of learning itself, having an organizational culture of learning, and organizational perception of the L&D function as it pertains to creating business impact and value. Are there other models and approaches that might help L&D move from being viewed as cost center to more of a perception as a strategic resource for the organization? Is the digital and agile transformation trend going to solve the problem or is it just step in a direction? Are there ways for L&D to be a performance partner with the business in ever more meaningful ways?
