Citrix Online is sponsoring a Forrester Research report on the new competencies that learning leaders need to have. It's making an important point about one of my favorite organizational development themes: the need for training to be aligned directly with the organization's goals.
In order to properly align those learning and company goals, this report points out, the managers of learning have to be fluent in executive-speak, in the functions of the business, and directly involved in the organization as a whole. I heartily agree, and this report gives interesting lists of what they see as the specific roles and functions that learning leaders need to be prepared for.
Great food for thought for all of us in learning, including the executives and executives-to-be. Check it out!
