    Consulting for Impact: Reframing L&D as a Strategic Business Partner

    In today’s rapidly changing workplace, L&D must do more than deliver courses—we must drive performance at the moment it matters. This session reframes talent development through the lens of the 5 Moments of Need® and the EnABLE methodology, equipping you to transition from order-taker to strategic partner. Join us as we explore how to diagnose real business problems, the need for conducting a Rapid Workflow Analysis, and pinpoint the true moments of need where learning and support must occur. We’ll discuss how to adapt existing training assets into Digital Coaches that guide employees in the flow of work, improve retention, and solve workflow challenges in real time. Through practical examples and a performance-first approach, you'll learn more about how to:

    1. Consult with stakeholders to uncover root causes and align solutions with measurable business outcomes.

    2. Apply the 5 Moments of Need® to design learning ecosystems that support both training and on-the-job execution.

    3. Review EnABLE methodology to build scalable, 5 Moments of Need solutions that reduce time to competency.

    4. Understand how a Digital Coach and performance support tools meet learners where the work happens.

    Walk away with a plan to elevate L&D’s impact—providing the kind of strategic, performance-driven partnership your organization needs to thrive.

                Making it Stick

                Training and development programs are only as impactful as the learning that sticks after the session ends. Too often, companies invest in training without clear expectations, instructors deliver content without meaningful engagement, and participants walk away with good intentions but little retention. In this practical and energizing session, participants will explore what it takes to make training effective from three essential perspectives: the organization, the facilitator, and the learner. Lauren Ansley introduces a multi-pronged approach to training success, including the actionable STICK Framework - a tool designed to help learners absorb, apply, and retain what they’ve learned long after the session ends. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies they can implement immediately and resources to keep learning alive.

                Learning Objectives:

                1. Identify common pitfalls and best practices for companies in setting up training for success, including how to communicate purpose, manage expectations, and boost participation.

                2. Understand how instructors and facilitators can make learning engaging, memorable, and relevant through storytelling, interaction, and reinforcement techniques.

                3. Apply the STICK Framework to encourage personal ownership of learning and maximize individual retention and application.

                Gain access to downloadable resources and a practical checklist that supports lasting learning beyond the classroom.
