Compelling business trends and transformation happens every day. New customer requirements. Markets change. Mergers and acquisitions. Government regulations and compliance. Competitive 
pressures. Advancements in technology and innovation.
Winning CEOs help these transformations succeed by communicating their vision and strategy, setting up the business model with their leadership team, and making strategic learning an organizational priority.
How can HR / Learning professionals respond?
First, it starts with the Chief HR (or People) Officer and their team, who partner with the CEO, to provide access to the vital skills, expertise, and resources required.
Employees who understand the mission and are trained to perform at the highest level are more likely to achieve tangible outcomes, value, and performance which helps drive the top and bottom line of the business.
For the CEO to achieve transformation 4 key factors must be in place:
- Showcase the importance of learning as a pillar of the organization’s success.
– Believe in the content and its impact. - Create an employee-first culture where learning enables incredible upside with customers.
– Empower career development. - Develop quality learning programs that are linked to strategic direction.
– Ensure true commitment and accountability. - Amplify top experts, leaders, knowledge (i.e. videos, playlists, podcasts, thought leadership, blogs, books, presentations, key assets, mentoring, etc.) as a central hub to provide context to formal learning.
– Extend formal learning to optimize the experience.
