The Power of One HR in the AI Era
When every HR discipline works in concert with the business, Learning becomes Strategy — and measurable outcomes follow.
What We’ll Achieve Together
-
1. Reimagine Learning as Enterprise Strategy
Explore how 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 and Learning Function
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.
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 L&D's role in executing business strategy.
