From Learning Activity to Business Impact — How Skills Make Outcomes Measurable

Most L&D teams feel like they’re aligned to business outcomes. In practice, they’re aligned to training requests. The gap between those two things is where learning and development (L&D) loses its strategic credibility, and skills can help close it. Skills create a direct, measurable chain from business priority to capability gap to learning investment to performance evidence. Using artificial intelligence (AI) workforce readiness and leadership development as examples, this session explores what that chain looks like in practice.
Join Anu Galhotra, SVP of advisory and solutions, and Dan Rust, VP of leadership and OD practice at Infopro Learning, as they share practical examples from AI workforce transformation and leadership development initiatives. Attendees will learn how to identify the capabilities that matter most, build targeted skill pathways and establish measurement frameworks that demonstrate progress beyond completion rates. The discussion will provide actionable approaches that L&D leaders can apply immediately to align learning strategy with business priorities.
Join this session for insights on:
- A practical framework for connecting business outcomes, capabilities, skills and learning investments
- A step-by-step approach for building and measuring AI capability across different workforce segments
- A method for creating leadership ecosystems that align assessments, development experiences and organizational priorities
- A measurement model that moves beyond completions and satisfaction scores to capability and business impact indicators
