No business ever funded a learning metric. Budgets follow outcomes the business already values, whether that’s revenue, retention, speed to competence or another measurable result. Yet many learning initiatives are still built first, with success measures added later.

In this webinar, Sean Stowers, CEO at WeLearn, is joined by Allyson Roote, VP of L&D at The Bonadio Group; Brian Jarvis, senior manager of L&D at Waste Management; Karen Ganitsky, global sales training leader at 3M; and Valerie Marsh, senior director of L&D at Jushi. Together, they’ll discuss how they approach learning initiatives from the opposite direction: identifying the business outcome first, aligning stakeholders around shared goals and defining the evidence of success — all before designing the solution.

Through examples from their own organizations, the panel will explore practical ways L&D leaders can strengthen stakeholder partnerships and position learning as a driver of business performance rather than a standalone function.

Key Takeaways:

  • Explore how experienced L&D leaders identify business outcomes before designing learning initiatives.
  • See examples of how learning teams align stakeholders around shared measures of success.
  • Learn practical ways to connect learning efforts to business evidence that resonates with executives.
