Group Charter

HCI's Learning & Development Workgroup is dedicated to best practices and next generation strategies for managing Learning & Development functions, programs, and processes. This group focuses on core issues related to L&D program development, training development and execution, technology deployment and evaluation, outsourcing, and business partner alignment.

Our workgroup offers strategic HR leaders, Learning & Development executives, and HR generalists a collaborative and confidential forum in which to exchange insights and solutions with executive peers and thought leaders on their most critical challenges and issues.

Doing More With Less: Building a High-Impact L&D Function

In the current economic environment, Learning and Development (L&D) executives find it necessary to stretch an already constrained pool of resources to deliver against learning and development objectives. Facing budget and staff reductions themselves, L&D executives are frequently called upon by the organization to provide additional bandwidth to time — and resource-oppressed line managers. In this context, L&D executives must seek innovative approaches to onboarding and upskilling the workforce, seeking not only tactical improvements to training and development, but also opportunities for partnership and synergy capture with other HR functions.

These conditions make new approaches to L&D all the more critical. To that end, HCI’s 2010 Learning & Development Workgroups will focus on key challenges and opportunities facing workforce planning professionals, including:

• Developing an integrated talent management model
• Capturing synergies with partner HR functions (especially Recruiting, HRIS, and the Generalist community)
• Identifying opportunities to reduce costs and innovate
• Prioritizing L&D program investments
• Ensuring ROI on technology investments
• Minimizing reliance on formal L&D/training programs
• Adapting to shifting workforce demographics
• Executing make-versus-buy decisions
