Action: Building an L&D Function That Scales With the Business, Without Losing Its Soul

Building on the Q&A, this roundtable focuses on the practical choices that determine whether L&D becomes a scalable, business-integrated capability or remains a fragmented, reactive function. Whether you are centralizing, rethinking the global-local balance, or introducing AI-enabled learning tools, this session offers peer-tested perspectives on what the highest-leverage moves look like.

  • What is the single biggest structural or governance change that would most improve L&D’s impact in your organization?
  • How do you build the business case for L&D investment when cost pressure is high and outcomes are hard to measure?
  • Where has AI genuinely changed what is possible in your L&D function, and where has it fallen short of expectation?
  • What does “good” look like for a global L&D operating model in a life sciences organization of your size?

Leave with a clearer view of the L&D design choices that will have the greatest business impact in your context, and peer-tested approaches to making the case for them
