We know we can create great learning programs, but do we really know if they’re having an impact? The best companies are designing with an eye on broader business outcomes, not just completions and smile sheets. Join Managing Director David Wentworth as he explores award-winning examples of companies doing just that. We will look at how and why they design based on concrete business needs and conditions.

Despite billions invested annually, many enterprise leadership programs fail to produce measurable business impact. This session examines why leadership development often stalls at activity instead of outcomes, and what high-performing organizations do differently. Drawing on Brandon Hall Group research and award-winning case studies, Dr. Marline C. Duroseau reframes leadership development through a business-first lens. Participants will explore the critical gap between leadership participation and leadership performance, why traditional success metrics miss the mark, and what HR leaders should be measuring instead to demonstrate real value.
