Powering Business Strategy

Through Workforce Capability 

 

What We’ll Achieve Together

  • 1. Reimagine Talent and Learning as Enterprise Strategy
    Explore how talent and learning becomes a lasting source of competitive advantage — not as a program or initiative, but as an enduring capability embedded across the workforce and business. We’ll examine how each HR COE — from Skills and Workforce Transformation to People Analytics and Talent Strategy — plays a role in architecting the AI-ready organization.

    2. Define the Future of the CLO
    Clarify the evolving mandate of the Chief Learning Officer and the L&D function in an AI-enabled world. Together, we’ll consider how learning leadership must integrate with enterprise priorities — shaping business strategy, enabling adaptability, and orchestrating capability development across the organization.

    3. Establish Shared Standards for the Field
    Co-create the foundations of a shared language, framework, and set of success measures for L&D and related COEs. These standards will help leaders design for the future, demonstrate ROI, and elevate the impact and credibility of learning across industries.

    4. Practice Strategic Influence
    Through Udemy’s interactive role play experience, strengthen your ability to use data and insight to influence senior leadership conversations — positioning learning, skills, and workforce transformation as essential levers of business performance and growth.

    5. Develop the meta-skill of learning to learn by experiencing a hands-on retrieval and spacing mini-lab tied to a real, current task.

About the Meeting

Hosted by Udemy and supported by our partners at Docebo, this meeting will advance the next chapter of our CLO LIFT Initiative — a practitioner-led movement to define the role of Learning & Talent in executing business strategy. 

While at Udemy, you'll have the opportunity to practice and strengthen critical future-ready leadership skills.

This experience will help you upskill in:

  • Business acumen — understanding the drivers of business performance

  • Exercising influence — communicating insights and shaping strategic decisions

  • Consulting the business — positioning L&D as a trusted strategic partner

  • The meta-skill of learning-to-learn —and why this is the CLO's insurance policy.
