CLO Exchange

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of leading an intimate boardroom discussion on the effective utilization of skills data with 15 Chief Learning Officers. ?? What stood out: 1. All organizations had their own unique methods of understanding the current skill gaps of their workforce, from in-house to vendor solutions 2. It has been a challenge to obtain accurate data in a scalable manner - taking up a significant amount of time and resources ?? In an ideal state scenario if these CLOs did have accurate data and full backing from leadership, they would use it to fuel their talent marketplaces to facilitate internal mobility and project matching efforts. Thank you to CLO Exchange for hosting such a fantastic event in warm and sunny Miami! Already looking forward to the next one???

Thanks to the amazing CLO Exchange for another tremendous event! I especially enjoyed my talk with Dr. Eli Bendet-Taicher, PhD and Ana Maria Sencovici; I learned so much from you both! The learning teams sometimes forget to focus on themelves (#shoemakerschildren), so these events are absolutely critical to ensuring this happens. ??

As Learning & Development Leaders we are now faced with the greatest challenge of our careers; preparing our companies, employees and teams for a future that in many ways is still not defined. Skills that are of value are evolving faster than ever, roles are shifting and new fields are emerging overnight. Over the last 2 days I've had so much fun co-chairing #CLOExchangeMiami with Chevonne George. Dancing (!), discussing and sparking debate on how we can stop reacting, and start leading the movement to architect tomorrow's workforce! To lead this change we need to: ? create a culture of continuous learning ? align with stakeholders to identify metrics that matter ? adopt a learner first approach that delights and allows each and every employee to own their learning and career development. Let's keep the conversation going. What was a key takeaway for you?

Learning teams—like our own at Experience Institute—spend their careers helping others reskill, upskill, build confidence, embrace new mindsets, and plan their next steps. It's incredible work. But sometimes, we’re a little like the cobbler’s kids. It can be tough to prioritize learning for ourselves when we're so focused on creating growth opportunities for others. This week, Erin Murphy and I attended the CLO Exchange with the intent to meet learning leaders and explore potential partnerships. Never having attended before, what I didn’t fully anticipate was just how much depth and insight I’d gain about the challenges and priorities shaping the future of learning. Opinions and experiences varied, but a few key themes stood out: ?? Measuring and proving ROI in learning and development – the how, the why, the to what end ?? AI’s role in learning – Especially in coaching as a way to embed and reinforce new practices ?? Importance of metacognitive skills – a cornerstone for navigating a rapidly evolving workplace; these have durability! ?? Balancing proactivity and reactivity – addressing immediate learning needs while staying ahead of future demands Leaving Miami just in time to see the sun rise over the Atlantic, I couldn’t help but reflect on how moments like these—the quiet, transitional ones—are where clarity begins. The insights from this week are already sparking ideas, and I’m looking forward to seeing how they’ll guide Ei’s work in the months ahead.

?? Our team is having a great time on the final day of the CLO Exchange in Miami! ?? It’s been an exciting opportunity to connect with L&D leaders and discuss how EBSCOlearning’s solutions, like Accel and AMA MicroCourses, are helping organizations elevate their corporate learning strategies. If you’re attending, be sure to stop by and chat with us before the event wraps up! #CLOExchange #CorporateLearning #EBSCOlearningAccel #EBSCOlearning #LearningAndDevelopment #LDSolutions #InnovationInLearning #Miami
