Learning Leaders SIG: Aligning Learning to Business Strategy

A recent survey concluded that in the past five years companies in developed economies spent nearly $400 billion annually on training. And yet, another study concluded that the majority of managers believe that employee performance wouldn't suffer if their own company's learning function were eliminated altogether!

As corporate learning professionals, we obviously find this lack of appreciation dismaying. Join us this month to discuss strategies to more strongly align our training topics and learning goals to our companies' business strategy and goals. 

In order to prime the pump for discussion, please see the articles below. See you there!
