Introducing CLO LIFT, a practitioner-led innovation challenge in collaboration with our CLO community. Our goal is to address long-standing learning problems by sharing robust recommendations and thought-provoking viewpoints, focusing on practical solutions led by world-class professionals.
CLO LIFT Challenges to Address
Over the next 12 months, we will facilitate live and virtual working sessions to address the top three challenges.
- Too Busy to Learn - People struggle to find the time and space to engage in deep learning and upskilling. Learning in the flow of work, micro-learning and other bite-sized learning strategies are good for specific task-based skill acquisition but are not effective for deep transformative development. How do CLOs lead the way to help their organizations invest in more time for growth and development?
- Surge New Capability - Just as individuals these days need to upskill continuously, so do whole organizations. The CLO and their teams should be leading the charge on this, anticipating these strategic new skills and then rapidly putting programming and experiences in place to 'surge' the skill. How do CLOs get ahead of the rapidly evolving 'skill-scape', influence investment in upskilling, and bring so much capability to bear to make a material impact on the organization in a matter of months?
- Centralize, De-Centralize, or Federate: The debate on governance within large firms has persisted for generations, yet a definitive solution to the optimal model remains elusive. Companies often undertake substantial projects to transition between models, only to revert to previous ones after a while. This results in inefficiencies and fragmentation due to the presence of shadow organizations, tools, and programs. Conversely, overly centralized systems stifle innovation and agility. As CLOs, it is imperative to develop a clear POV on the ideal governance model and execute a sustainable vision that fosters increased impact and success.
CLO LIFT Objectives
- Develop Practical Solutions: Facilitate world-class professionals in sharing robust, practical recommendations and thought-provoking viewpoints to address major challenges in the L&D ecosystem.
- Produce Practitioners’ POV/Position Papers on each of the challenges
- Enhance CLO Skills: Provide skill-building opportunities for CLOs to strengthen their capabilities as leaders in the L&D space.
- Create a Compelling Narrative: Craft a persuasive narrative to demonstrate the importance of the project to CEOs and CFOs, highlighting its potential impact on the organization.
- Develop a plan to Engage the HR Community: Share the project's output with the broader HR community to share insights and learnings.
