A unique skill-building collaboration for learning leaders
Leaders can have a tremendous impact on company culture, and consequently business performance. So continuous upskilling is crucial to improve their knowledge, widen their influence, and deepen their credibility.
This LPI-certified masterclass dynamically adapts its content to tackle current learning leadership challenges. It immerses you in creative ideas, new-wave strategies, and focused networking – rewarding your investment many times over. You’ll work with dynamic CLO’s from global organisations, pioneering thinkers, and tuned-in academics to build deep expertise and confidence as a learning leader and organisational catalyst.
I’d recommend this programme to anyone, as it has really supported my personal development. The expert sessions together with the networking and collaboration with an international cohort has been really powerful.
Guy Wilkins FLPI, Senior Digital Learning and Platforms Manager, Clyde & CoHearing from the fantastic range of experts about their experiences has been amazing – but the true power of this programme is in the networking. Being able to collaborate and share ideas, message the cohort over WhatsApp, and just chat with people who I now consider friends. It’s so valuable.
Emma Duff, Talent & Leadership Development Manager, WesleyanI’ve gained so much from this program – the network is unrivalled. I’ve not seen anything as good as this anywhere else. Fantastic!
