Course overview

Become an ROI-Driving Learning Leader in 8 Weeks

Are you exhausted trying to prove the value of learning in your organization? Do you feel overwhelmed navigating the skills gap? This 8-week online course will empower you to become a strategic player who cultivates a thriving skills-based culture. 


We'll step back and question why learning matters at all. You'll gain clarity on metrics that matter—like talent flow and growth culture audits—to demonstrate ROI and address pushback. We'll tackle the skills conundrum head-on, clarifying who defines skills and how to build skills inventories. 


Each week, you'll explore contradictions that spark creative solutions. How do you put employees first while meeting business goals? How do you balance data with human-centric design? You'll prototype plans tailored to your organization and come away with an expanded portfolio to elevate your programs. Join us on this journey of inquiry and action to level up your skills and transform your organization into a powerhouse of motivated, skilled employees.
