Learning and development has assumed major significance in organisations. It is now one of the most high profile HR practices, and organisations are increasingly making major investments in developing employee knowledge, skills and abilities. This masterclass will report recent findings of a study commissioned by the Irish Institute of Training and Development (IITD). It will address the following organisational challenges:
- What are the most pressing external and internal challenges shaping L&D in organisations?
- How is L&D making use of technology and data analytics to enhance its position in organisations?
- What types of strategic and operational roles do L&D practitioners play in organisations?
- How do line managers, employees, managers and executives perceive the effectiveness of L&D?
- What are the competency sets that enhance the effectiveness of L&D?
The masterclass will propose a new value added proposition for L&D within organisations focused on enhancing organizational capacity, capability and agility.
