Today’s learning & development professionals, corporate trainers, or talent development leaders are standing at a crossroads. The role of L&D is shifting—those who fail to evolve risk becoming irrelevant.

AI, automation, and executive demands for measurable business impact are changing the game. Being a “nice to have” won’t cut it anymore. You must move from merely delivering training to proving strategic value—or risk being sidelined.

In this engaging and interactive session, you’ll discover:

• Why L&D professionals are increasingly being seen by business leaders as expendable—and how to change that perception
• The critical shift from training creator and deliverer to business impact driver
• How to deliver leadership development programs that drive measurable ROI and business results
• How to embrace AI instead of fearing it
