Planning for Success in 2025

As you prepare your objectives and plans for the year ahead, most learning and development departments will be making budget and resource decisions that include learning vendors. Sourcing and managing your external resources effectively can be a key driver of your effectiveness.

That’s why we’re glad to share our?free guide to managing L&D vendors and resources . In “Building Success, Together,” we outline:

• How to define the scope of work (including setting objectives, clearly defining deliverables and timeline, and establishing a budget);
• How to develop and maintain internal alignment around projects (including projects where vendors are used and where they aren’t);
• What to expect from a healthy and effective vendor relationship, from the initial qualification process to the development of an effective collaborative relationship

At AXIOM, we’re committed to your success. If you would like to speak with a member of our team for information or guidance about a project you’re planning or working on, don't hesitate to reach out.?Our team is always available to you as a resource.

How Learning Can Lead Through Change

Change is constant and cyclical. When your organization is confronting a change—whether it's driven by a merger or acquisition, a change in market or competitive conditions, rapid growth, a reduction in staff, or any other significant period of change, your role as a leader of learning can grow stronger.

In the latest episode of our podcast, we're joined by expert Nina Hollon, CLS , who describes her experience leading complex organizations through period of transformation—including the largest merger ever in the wealth services industry—and how this change gave training a role as a strategic asset to the business.
