Launching for Success: From Learning to Doing

Extensive research and our own experiences tell us that new skills are easy to learn and hard to apply. Behavior changes happen only through application followed by mindful reflection, feedback, and practice—then new ways of working form. It’s never been more important for leaders and practitioners at all levels to be adaptable.

Based on the ATD Forum’s book, Leading the Learning Function, our Launching for Success sessions will showcase two examples of moving from knowing to successfully applying a new practice in day-to-day work.

The first session will help you apply theoretical constructs from the science of learning to design learning experiences that drive business outcomes. In the second session, three Forum executives share the leadership principles they have cultivated to gain a deeper understanding of their leadership practices as they continually adapt to the needs of people, their organizations, and communities.

In both sessions, talent practitioners from Forum member companies will share insights, tools, and best and next practices that you can immediately apply to advance capability and business impact in your organization.
