About the Course
L&DI designed this programme in partnership with HPC. This two-day programme is delivered online and provides you with the practical tools and capabilities to strategically re-position the L&D function within the business and to allow you to ask the questions that will drive solutions.
Using a mixture of the latest research, case-studies and real-play techniques, this programme will accelerate your shift to a strategic partner within the business.
This Strategic Business Partnering Skills for L&D programme, helps your internal client to sort out the root causes of performance problems rather than simply providing a training solution.
To be a true and effective partner you must act as a mirror for the client to help them clearly see their own problems. This enables a true strategic partnership that develops the most appropriate solutions, delivering real benefit to the business.
It is imperative to shift from “order-taking” and driving L&D initiatives on your own to a strategic partnership with the business. But this shift takes time, and a new set of capabilities and a change in how you interact with the business.
Who is the Course for?
All L&D professionals who want to take their performance to another level, and elevate their L&D function to business partners. This programme is developed for the L&D professional, Learning Specialist, and People Development Business Partnering roles.
