Introduction
In an era characterised by unprecedented global shifts, the Learning and Development (L&D) function confronts escalating challenges within dynamic landscapes. The 2023 Learning and Development Conference unveiled transformative opportunities emerging amid uncertainties, establishing a foundation for the evolution of the L&D role.
As we step into the 2024 Learning and Development Conference, we will advance beyond merely linking employees to learning opportunities. Progressive L&D functions are now pioneering in empowering individuals to thrive and develop. The pervasive impact of digitisation and automation has underscored the imperative for a skills-based approach to organisational and individual development. Recognising this, thriving companies underscore the vital role of supporting employee development in retaining top talent and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
Gartner’s 2024 report accentuates the top three strategic priorities for Learning and Development leaders as: Leader and manager development; L&D design and delivery; and skills and growth needs identification. These priorities are driven by an evolving employee-employer relationship, skills shortages, transformative technology, and the pursuit of efficiency.
