Organization Learning and Development (OLxD)

Learning Leadership Track

Strengthening Learning Leadership for Real Organizational Impact

About the Learning Leadership Track

The Learning Leadership Track is a flagship OLxD initiative created for leaders who are responsible for shaping, leading, and strengthening the learning and development function within their organizations. It responds to a growing need for deeper leadership conversations about how learning functions are designed, governed, and positioned to deliver real business value.

The track brings together senior learning leaders for focused conversations that go beyond tools and programs. It centers on the leadership decisions that shape learning effectiveness, including how learning teams are structured, how credibility with business leaders is built, how strategy translates into execution, and how learning priorities align with organizational goals.

Through facilitator-led discussions and peer-level engagement, participants are encouraged to reflect on real challenges, examine trade-offs, and learn from the lived experience of others who lead learning functions.

At its core, the initiative exists to strengthen learning leadership by equipping leaders of the learning function with clarity, perspective, and informed judgment to design and manage learning teams that deliver measurable, sustained organizational impact.

Who This Track Is For

We designed the Learning Leadership Track for leaders in the learning space who carry responsibility for the performance of the learning and development function. Individuals who are accountable for designing learning structures, setting learning priorities, and ensuring that learning investments translate into real organizational capability.
