Organization Learning and Development (OLxD)

Most L&D functions are busy. Very few are strategic. This day is about the difference.

The Learning Leaders Summit is a full-day immersive experience for senior leaders of learning functions across Africa. Not a conference. Not a workshop. A structured thinking lab designed to challenge how you lead learning – and to leave you with clarity, direction, and a commitment you will actually keep.

Only 8% of CEOs say their L&D function has a measurable impact on business outcomes.
<20% of what people learn in formal training transfers to changed behaviour on the job.
Most L&D teams can tell you how many people were trained. Almost none can tell you what changed.

This is not a passive experience. Every content session leads directly into a structured activity. You will think, design, diagnose, and decide — not listen and take notes.

What You Will Leave With You will not leave with a folder of slides.

You will leave with something harder to come by – clarity.

Outcomes list:

  • A clear, honest assessment of where your learning function sits today relative to where it needs to be
  • A strategic learning agenda, tested against a real business context through structured design work
  • A diagnosis of your team’s current capability profile and where the most critical gaps are
  • A practical navigation plan for the specific inhibitors standing between your function and strategic impact
  • A network of L&D leaders across Africa who are working on exactly the same challenges
