What gaps/barriers currently exist that impede Learning Organizations from driving strategic impact? Reporting relationships, involvement in strategic discussions and communicating the business case are a few of the challenges. In this interactive session, we will discuss how Learning organizations are addressing these gaps/barriers through direct reporting relationships (i.e. to the CEO), integrating Learning into business strategy discussions, etc.

To help guide the roundtable panel discussion, our facilitator will cover some or all of the following:

• Current i4cp research on Learning's alignment with the business strategy: "The Learning Paradox"
• Current state approaches for aligning/integrating Learning: "A Cautionary Tale?"
• Lessons Learned for driving greater effectiveness through questions, data, and storytelling

This session will focus on providing insight into:

• the pros and cons of various learning reporting relationships,
• the priority integration points for Learning within HR for business impact
• communication strategies like The Learning Annual Report and the Business Case for Learning
