You’ll gain a deeper understanding of AI’s role in delivering more innovative and engaging coursework.

    From Trainer to Trusted Consultant:
    Strategic Partnering for Learning Success

    About This Event

    How can learning professionals move from the role of “order-taker” to “order-getter?” By cultivating a relationship-based strategic approach to consulting. Relationship-based consulting looks for ways to solve the learning needs of an organization through building trust and recommending learning solutions to fit their needs.  

    In this session you will:  

    • Identify critical organizational leaders with whom to develop business partnerships. 
    • Create a communication plan to establish and increase the organization’s utilization of learning opportunities.  
    • Develop a consultation process of ongoing conversations and collaboration to meet learning needs as they arise.  

    Note: This session was presented at the 2023 ATD International Conference.
